Jeff Gannon fired from Washington Blade (a GLBT paper)
OK. I'll be the first to say it.
L'affaire Gannon was public knowledge when they hired him. Why didn't it matter then?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Blade just hired a new manager or editor or something - one of the first things he did was fire Jeff.

Following Executive Editor Chris Crain's departure from The Washington Blade, the paper chose Kevin Naff as his replacement this week. One of Naff's first decisions was to sever ties with columnist Jeff Gannon.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Exactly. His credibility problems are nothing new. Of course, if the Blade wanted to get a little extra juice out of the scandal, I'm not surprised. Kate Moss went from making $7 million a year to $38 million this year after snorting coke for the cameras.
I want to be jaded. I want this shit to NOT bother me so much.

Dude...have got to acquire taste for cocaine. Of course the kind I could buy is "downscale" crack, that you actually get really arrested for. Not like(cough) awarded elections.

McSeeeney's RIAA parody letter: [link]
If you would prefer not to be stripped of your home and dignity, please send us $3,750 in the return envelope. If your toddler has been named in this lawsuit, explain to them that the fruits of their labor as an adult will go to pay a debt that will ultimately lead to their death at a young age due to their inability to afford medical insurance. Toddlers never understand that, but they'll get the point if you make them cry. If your household pet has been named in this lawsuit, it will be euthanized. If you are a 13-year-old girl, do not expect that the bad publicity in the past has made us hesitant to sue little girls—it has only made us hate you even more. If you, your household pet, or your toddler did not commit any of the acts above, then we will sue you and ruin your life forever for lying. Then we will sue you again, because it's not about the money anymore. It's about revenge.
