The FCC in the last eight years has been a mindlessly politicized tentacle of Bushco. Like the Justice Department. Fact is, Fox has operated as a house organ in the grand tradition of Pravda. Anybody that denies that is disingenuous at best, and, at worst and in fact, a liar.Vagaries of “the law” notwithstanding, Swiftboat was slander. Actual malice and outright lies. And where did those ads run on TV but over and over on Fox?

There is an FCC Charter. The people own the airwaves and broadcasters rent them. If you think George Carlin is a blight and biased politicization from some numbmuts Aussie ahole isn’t, or a delusional Korean preacher, or Scaiffe, I’d say you’re a moron and you don’t pass the polling test.

I reserve all my righteous indignation for the yappers who presume to have a RIGHT to make their personal fortunes on the free public airwaves trafficking all that same dreck; people who proclaim the absolutely indispensible nature of their own freedom from government regulation (equal time), even as their industry only exists in a coherent form (strictly regulated frequency allocation and signal strength) thanks to the Federal Communications Commission – ie – “guhvmint intrusion”.

These hateful ideological crack dealers that currently work their corners on the public airwaves should join the panty-sniffers, shock jocks, and other infantilized exhibitionists of ignorance on xm (where they can still make their bloody fortunes)

Here‘s what W has delivered surreptitiously, possibly with no clue, to mess up his predecessor. This is purely a case of taking advantage of a bad situation to make things worse for American taxpayers and better for bankers.

This is pretty clearly Paulson giving banks license to steal money from taxpayers. Paulson and the banks surely benefit. How does anybody else? Nominally, our entire financial future rests in Wachovia, and nobody at corporate has had the decency to contact us about Wells Fargo taking over and what that might mean to our investments. We’re supposed to be happy our checking and credit card accounts still work, I guess.

“It’s just like after September 11. Back then no one wanted to be seen as not patriotic, and now no one wants to be seen as not doing all they can to save the financial system,” said Lee A. Sheppard, a tax attorney who is a contributing editor at the trade publication Tax Analysts. “We’re left now with congressional Democrats that have spines like overcooked spaghetti. So who is going to stop the Treasury secretary from doing whatever he wants?”

Uh, the President that employs him, you ahole? Mr. Signing Statement. Yeah, right. Sounds like a Banana Republic to me.

On another subject, why are DJs a topic of conversation when there’s Songza? DJs used to be clever, like Charles Laquidara, or friends that introduced you to music you might like. Now it’s Lex and Terry and Twins I’d like to have sex with. This is Dumbing Down. This is Hillbilly Heroin Rush Culture. This is Jim Rome pretending to be a black athlete when he was punked by a seriously good football player he called Chris Chandelier. Republicanism. Family Values promoted by perverse, incourteous speech and behavior. There are three DJs worth listening to: Miami Steve, Bob Dylan and Dee Snyder.

I guess if I have a point about ratdogs, it’s that why did people do that to dogs? Knowing about genetics and perverting other species seems like an unrepentable and unforgivable sin. If a cockapoo is a reality, I like it inherently. Hardly ever met a dog I didn’t. I don’t want it eaten by a coyote. But a coyote’s got to eat. And they were here first.Far as cats are concerned, I think cats inflict unspeakable oain on th noses and ears of canines, leading to retreat, and salvation. Any cat worth its salt. One way or another, humans ought to be smart enough to figure they take risks when they invade on nature.

Chimps have opposable thumbs. Humans claim superiority by possessing reasoning abilities. Yet, we still allow our votes to be stolen. And rats reason. Smartest Monkeys? Maybe. Maybe not.

Happens less often the last few years than before as a parish pastor, but often enough that i can keep up with breaking news re: Dec. 2012. (N.B. — if you like Coast to Coast type stuff, you know you won’t be buying green bananas in Nov./early Dec. of 2012.)

I’m still wrapping my head around Opie and Anthony as conservative spokespersons; maybe they were playing the Charles Gray role in the Sarah Palin lookalike movie.
