That's funny, because when the Seattle Times wrote about this story, they gave credit where credit was due, citing The Stranger for the scoop. They Back Sonics, Not Gay Marriage On Politics By David Postman On Politics The Seattle Times' chief political reporter Some of the new owners of the Sonics and the Storm are major financial backers of a national anti-gay-marriage group.

Tell your friends...

Good work though for bringing it to our attention.

I thought that was a little ironic....

everything you mentioned in that sentence would quantify as such...or do i mean qualify...oh, hell, i hate grammar...

and really, shouldn't it be spelled and pronounced, "Club La Goon"? or is it, le goon? le or la is confusing, too..

Yet another example of MSM's obsessive denial of the influence of the blogosphere.
