to one of the foxes of the industry. We the chickens? We are just meat, might as well let the foxes eat us if it means more "free $peach" for the corporate wing of the party.

I remember being told "No, wouldn't happen now that Bush is gone, you'll see." Then the jaw dropping appointment and it was "Give the guy a chance, industry insiders are great guys sometimes, you'll see!".

I suppose now it will be, "Nothing could be done the FCC is as weak as a kitten in these matters".

Who wants to bet I nailed the meme yet again?
