Oh thank you, sirencall, I didn't realize that this column was an opinion piece.  All these years we all thought this was a straight news column.  When Tabs's relatives reminded us that she wrote satire, we still didn't realize that it was her opinion.  And of course, in opinion columns, according to sirencall, you don't need to have facts.  It can all be fake.   

I agree completely with you, sirencall, on one point of yours - in the last sentence of your penultimate paragraph.  Look in the mirror.
