As the Presidential campaign for 2008 revs up, political rumor mills are starting to work overtime. Thus, I am very pleased to announce that Grin is one of only six blogs across the country that have been authorized by the U.S. General Accounting Office to serve as Gossip Control Centers for the election. This is a wonderful tribute to our small but dedicated staff of fact-checkers, who have given Grin a reputation for accuracy that is unparalleled in the industry. If you have a campaign rumor you want Grin to investigate, please contact us.

In the weeks and months to come, Grin will endeavor to make the 2008 Presidential race a contest that is decided on facts, not fabrications. Thank you for your support.
