Will the Gannon SCANDAL fade away before our unbelieving eyes?
Like so many bush scandals seem to do? Every outrage, every atrocity and every hand caught in the cookie jar, or fake journalist, EVERY single scandal has just drifted off into never happened land, and the cultists slog forward, as WE stand there slack jawed in amazement.

I doubt they'd even flinch if their monkey leader crapped in his hand and threw it at them.

2. Probably, but I've fired off letters/emails to my Senators & Reps
asking them to investigate. Very polite, very concerned and very much asking for their Texan Repuke help in allaying my fears and concerns.

Make 'em justify the lack of oversight.

3. I think it is just starting to reach the MSM. I believe Olberman is
supposed to have a story on it tonight and Blitzer keeps promo'ing a story to be on soon. It may just be taking off but we will see.

7. I don't know what I'd do
without Keith Olbermann. He's the only one to report on these types of things at first, then they start gaining steam. I love him!

4. I'm certainly not expecting our corporate media to look into it.
They'll give it a perfunctory mention, and then quickly move on. Much as they did with Armstrong Wiliams and the other paid propagandists.

I wouldn't take McDonalds' word on nutrition, and I don't trust the corporate media to investigate media corruption.

10. Since you mention it...
"McDonald's' word on nutrition"

I read their little booklet on nutrition the other day...
True, they have high calorie fare, but, most of it is
okay nutritionally.

Their worst offense is frying everything (I do mean
everything) in partially hydrogenated oils.

8. Seems unlikely that a media populated with Gannons
would make a fuss over another Gannon.

All those Gannons have barely ever, ever, ever said an unkind word about the Torture Party and the Torturer In Chief.
