FCC To Enforce Do Not Call List, Not FTC

Iphtashu Fitz writes "The Associated Press is reporting that the Federal Communications Commission will step in and enforce the national Do Not Call list for the Federal Trade Commission. The FCC is coming to the aid of the FTC because of the recent lawsuit filed against the FTC over the list."

Did I wake up in Bizarro world today?

Two government agencies cooperating to implement a consumer-popular policy?

Who are these people, and what have they done with my real government?

Hopefully something very dreadful and permanent. :)

Great support

Have you ever seen such resolve and support on a single issue in the U.S.? I mean, after 9/11 politicians and government agencies weren't moving this quickly.

I guess that's what happens when an entire nation faces down an association with no lobbying skills. Now if we could just be this effective on a few of the slightly more important issues like civil rights, pre-emptive wars, and so forth.

Behold...

And you shall know that the end times have arrived because US government agencies shall cooperate to implement things the tax payers actually want! And Apple shall have the fastest computers available! Linux will go mainstream! BeOS will come back from the dead! Behold and repent for surely we have reached the end of times!

The judge may be happy. Guess why?

The judge who held up the enforcement of the Do Not Call list may be happy that the FCC gave him an out.
His phone number is on the list!

That, and there's all those phone calls he's been getting from consumers who wanted to show what tehy could with the "rights" he was upholding.
