Welcome another lonely warrior against the vast left-wing conspiracy to
beggar under-appreciated producers of wealth. Where would corporate giants
and most governments be without her ilk?


It looks like we're in for another classic instance of media "balance"
(more rightwing whining).

One "Disclosure" (a lady boss harasses male underling) balances 1000's of
confirmed mal-on-female sexual harassment cases.

One celebrated case of reverse discrimination balances systematic
discrimination of the usual kind.

~$200M from the "leftwing establishment" balances billions in corporate
advertising and lobbying. (Come to think of it, I'd say the left is getting
better value for its money. Greening Earth and the Cato Institute are very
expensive to maintain. No wonder the right is trying to copy them via
Astroturf movements, "liberation" management, fake Body Shops, etc. Can
rightwing hacktivists be far behind? Wartime hacking doesn't count.)

Ms. Okonski is fighting yesterday's war. The global mediaspace is too big
for organized efforts to highjack it, as happened with "political
correctness."

If she grew her hair a little and wore glasses, she could kill Naomi and
take her place. Now THAT would be scary. (That comes from watching too many
American made-for-TV movies on late night Dutch TV.)
