  • Cable Package

    My cable company allows me to block stations. My daughter is only 2, so when she’s old enough to work a remote control, I’ll block MTV. I blocked Fox “News”. It felt pretty good to do so. I don’t want or need Fox “News” or the other 25 “news” stations. I‘d drop the “religious” networks, too. (I wouldn’t doubt it if the FCC imposed a higher fee for not carrying these networks) I wouldn’t doubt it if the FCC goes after the Discovery and Science channels because they have programming on (gasp!) dinosaurs and cavemen, which didn’t really exist because they’re not in the Bible.

    The letters were a better read than the article. Salon using this as the top story is just as bad as Vanity Fair putting Lindsay Lohan on the cover on the most recent issue. Neither have any substance, and who really cares? But on the other hand, I agree that with the slide into fascism Salon should focus on some more pressing topics, but how many respondents here click on "The Fix". Hey -- I do, we all need a little bit of fluff once in a while. We can’t take everything so incredibly seriously all the time -- we'll all drop dead from stress.

    Ayelet Waldman's articles do irk me, though.

    I miss Boehlert.

  • Fine Upstanding Christians.

    This reminds me of William S Burrough's "Thanksgiving Day Prayer", recorded on Dead City Radio.

    Sickening.

  • 2012 Plans

    What I don't understand concerning the blathering of 2012 plans is are they truly conceding the 2008 vote? Really? Are they not even planning the SCOTUS case for Nov 5? I just can't believe that they're giving up.

  • uh huh-- getting paid by McCain --

    I had to laugh at the suggestion that I'm a McCain operative -- thanks for the chuckle. Just to clarify -- vote 11/4.

  • Jeff Tweedy.....

    Why no Jeff Tweedy on this list? How can there be no Jeff Tweedy? Not even last year, when Wilco put out an album.
