Is there one? Sometimes I feel like we have one here in Cyrsti's Condo thanks to all of you who send things along. The latest comes from Bobbie reporting that a "Fox News Regular" (of course)  was suspended from his own company! The actual link is from the " Raw Story " site: According to  Adweek , Gavin McInnes has been asked to take an indefinite leave of absence from his position as Chief Creative Officer at  Rooster NYC , an ad agency he co-founded in 2010.
