FCC Running Amok

Posted on February 3, 2011 | Leave a comment

Hot Air has some focus on it. Have to say I definitely agree. Most of the FCC’s “power” certainly has to be shunted to ground.
These issues are mentioned:
• Net Neutrality – Repeal the Open Internet Order
• Media ownership rules – Pre-WW2 rules are long overdue for review
• FCC merger review authority – Modern media structure has changed dramatically since last century

Ah, but then I got this at work today.
Seems the FCC was told of clear, strong laboratory evidence of interference with the GPS signal by a proposed new broadcaster on January 19 of this year. What has the FCC done about it?

The FCC waived its own rules and granted permission for the potential interferer to broadcast its signal.
One hand knows nothing of the other. This not how it is supposed to work.

Intolerant Zeros

A 7-year-old child allegedly shot a Nerf-style toy gun in his Hammonton, N.J., school Jan. 18. No one was hurt, but the 7 year old now faces misdemeanor criminal charges.

School officials alerted cops to investigate the incident which led to the police (with prodding, no doubt, by the school’s zero-tolerance policy by the – cough – administrators) charging the 7-year-old with possession of an imitation “firearm” in school – a misdemeanor and a minor juvenile offense in New Jersey.

I am still wondering just who are the idiots here. i count at least three, maybe four, could be more.

Oh, that “gun”? Something like a Nerf gun, that shoots soft ping pong balls. Oh yeah, real dangerous weapon there. Glad they called the cops. Wonder how many showed up and what their reports looked like.

Spot On Ann Coulter

Is she confused? I say – no. In fact, Ann made a funny and very salient point about the recent ruling by Judge Vinson calling the entire package of Obamacare being unconstitutional.

“If this is constitutional then Republicans should turn around and mandate that all citizens be force to purchase a gun and a Bible. And, there’s a lot more evidence that owning a gun and a Bible is better for society than everyone having to buy health insurance.”

Go ahead, Mr. President, make us all bitter clingers. Well, most of us anyway.

Who Needs To Be Educated

About global warming, er, climate change, um – snowballs in he…….. oh, nuts.

Seems that John Holdren, cough – top science adviser to BO, thinks we don’t know anything about science. Particulalrly the life cycle of our own planetary system.

Gee, John, maybe you’ve been schooled a bit longer than some (I only have a Master’s in Engineering Sciences, does that count?) but that doesn’t mean you have all the answers.

Oh, by the way, how are you going to plug the earth’s volcanos, hhmm? And stop the methane from bubbling up from the Atlantic? Refreeze those (floating) icecaps and icebergs? (You know that ice, when it melts, takes up far less volume, right?)

Don’t treat us like fools. We’re on to the game. As for “green” energy sources, we are nowhere near break-even.

You know who. That Mostly Stupid Nitwit Broadcasting Crap – Chris “Tingle” Matthews.
Apparently, he’s equating the unrest in Egypt with the Iraq War.

Must be Alzheimer’s kicking in.

Air Forced

Posted on January 29, 2011 | Leave a comment

It seems that DHS/TSA no longer is ambivalent about private security for airports.

Yup. It’s all about controlling the folks. Er, it’s all about control, folks.

But on Friday, the TSA denied an application by Springfield-Branson Airport in Missouri to privatize its checkpoint workforce, and in a statement, Pistole indicated other applications likewise will be denied.

“I examined the contractor screening program and decided not to expand the program beyond the current 16 airports as I do not see any clear or substantial advantage to do so at this time,” Pistole said.

Yeah. He’s a pistol, all right. High caliber? Nah, not so much.

No Longer Ours

Deepwater rigs moved out of the Gulf of Mexico

(Adds Pride rig moving to Mediterranean)
Jan 27 (Reuters) – Some of the 30-plus deepwater rigs that were in the Gulf of Mexico have moved to other markets, first because of a U.S. halt called last May after BP Plc’s well blowout, and then because of the lack of permits once the moratorium was lifted.

See the jobs go. See the oil go. See unemployment rise. Is it any wonder costs for everything will rise?

And we remain dependent on others to export oil to us. Even moreso.
Sorry, grandkids, this is no longer the America it used to be.

Thank the President and the 111th Congress for this mess. They are the ones who foisted this on you.
Let no one tell you otherwise, for that will be a lie.
