FROM THE RIGHT1. If FCC rules do not allow more duopolies and consolidation, stations in small to mid-sized markets won't be able to compete and local broadcasting dies.
2. Estrada was never rejected by Congress in the manner prescribed by the Constitution, but by Democrats and Republicans who think they can trash the Constitutional process if it suits them. Now, a majority of Senate means 60+. The good news, maybe that means the Senate won't do anything for a long time. Who needs new laws, they are all going to be political payoffs to the unions or AARP.
3. GWB is overspending, Republicans in Congress are overspending, and everyone wants free prescription drugs. First the baby boomers force the 60s and 70s on the world, and now they're going to make us by their meds. Screw 'em.
4. Arnold was wise to skip the debate. Nothing is revealed in debates. Politicians repeat rote answers that have no basis in their actual beliefs or plans for the state. It's a charade, and Arnold knows an act when he sees it. I hope he wins.
OK, I'm feeling a bit cynical.
