The FTC should investigate moveon.org's use of the name "MoveOn". Based on moveon.org's obsessive and compulsive behavior, they cannot live up to their name. Amen! The organization began to try to get everyone to "Move On" from slick willies lying. They still haven't recovered over the impeachment and have picked up the baggage of the 2000 election to boot. The keep picking up emotional baggage year after year while never moving on over anything. They remind me of the neurotic little sister that big sis keeps trying to pawn off on everyone as a blind date.

I think they should investigate whether the breakfast cereal Lucky Charms is really "magically delicious."I wanna know about Trident Sugarless Gum's advertisements that say "4 out of 5 dentists recommend sugarless gum for their patients who chew gum."
What's up with that fifth dentist? It can't be that he thinks chewing gum is bad, because the survey was about "patients who chew gum." Does he recommend that patients who chew gum should chew gum with teeth-rotting sugars? Is that dentist just selfishly protecting his own business by encouraging behavior that will increase cavities in his patients? Or does he know something about the people at Trident, something so sinister and clandestine that disclosure would set off a panic among the gum-chewing world?
America deserves to know!!!

MoveOn needs to take a hint--from its own name.

No grapes, no nuts! Don't want to go too blue here, but (low voice) grapes actually do have as part of their fruit anatomy, uh, that n-word. That's what you're eating. I'm surprised no one told you.
