Sadly this is mixed up with all the FCC indecency issues, but I'm intrigued nonetheless. And this last bit makes me giggle:
Kyle McSlarrow, head of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, called the a la carte mandate a "very dangerous idea." He said it would violate cable companies' free-speech rights and would be struck down by the courts.
Good effort, Kyle. Nice swing.
COZY! My room is not CRAZY.
Good effort, Kyle. Nice swing.
I will now be saying that to people all day long.

We need more Buffistas in the center of the country, as the standard deviation of the Buffista distribution is too big.
(And of course, the standard deviation isn't enough for us perverted statisticians </Onion>)
I suppose it would be kind of acceptable if shrift moved to Minneapolis, then. But that wouldn't help her much with the 'streets of ice' problem.

Did Jim Steinman write the music to that, too?
Just noting that Kyle McSlarrow has run for Congress as a Republican. Keeps losing to Jim Moran, who is corrupt enough that he should be vulnerable.
