That's what the media wants you to do. They have wanted his ass to disappear for some time; don't make it easy for them by going along with their program. You don't want to depress us, who are working so hard to have our voices and those we respect heard by nonchalantely giving us this kind of undemocratic forecast.

and considering that we should be working towards a democratic congress THIS election, let's not wait to revise the FCC till 2008....cause hell, by that time it may be too late. The FCC rules should be one of the first challenges along with a "clean" election bill that would demand Paper Ballots sans machines for every state. We've got a lot of work to do before election 2008, and if we have a democratic congress, I would hope that the condition of the media and our elections would be the first things addressed, or else the next election, as previous, may not be our own!

PS. Wes Clark would be much more valuable as a Sec of State than as FCC Chairman, IMO if not on a national ticket..... Although I could see his son serving in that capacity. Now that would be a hoot!
