4. Looks to me like GOPs are wanting to use this to tighten pro-censorship |
|
grip on this nation. Not really because of the off color commentary that could be picked up, but to put fear into the broadcasters who might stray and cross BushInc. in an inconvenient way. Like during the next cat 5 hurricane.

5. I Just Posted Again Today For The 2nd Time In About a Month! |
|
I got SOOOOOOOOO Fed Up with SOOOOOOOOOO much and just stopped watching all MSM, well basically ALL the news! Just couldn't take it anymore! Came back and started checking things out and see that it's EVEN WORSE!!!
Guess I better go get a pillow to put over my head!! Something really really really bad is gonna go down, I feel it in my bones! The Idiot presenting himself as changing his "cowboy mentality" is THE FIRST tip off! Diamondback rattlers just don't shed that skin off!

Does still mean they'll go after potty mouth "Dick" Cheney?
He seems to be a ripe target of this kind of abuse, as well as Mad king Boy George flipping the bird that was caught on tape.

14. they are indeed completely, utterly starkers |
|
The idea of getting along "civilly" with such people, such unrepentent control freaks, is, of course, impossible.

17. So how would you interpret this sentence from the article: |
|
Under federal court rulings and commission rules, material is indecent if it "in context, depicts or describes sexual or excretory activities or organs in a patently offensive manner as measured by contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium."
Would the word "bush" qualify under these guidelines as "describing an organ in a patently offensive manner"? Sounds reasonable to me. I think Bush is about the most offensive word I hear each and every day.
:think:
