FCC Looks Into Regulating Violence on TV

The Importance of writes "The FCC's regulation of indecent and profane speech has gotten a lot of attention recently. Now, the FCC is considering getting into the business of regulating violence on television (broadcast and cable/satellite). This isn't unexpected, because the House Commerce Committee ordered the FCC to conduct the study. Notice of Inquiry [PDF] [TXT]. Somehow, I don't think the FCC is going to tell Congress there is nothing they can do about violence on TV."

Depends on whether you believe we "got" Saddam.

Depends on what "got" means (at the risk of sounding like Bill Clinton).

What I see we "got" is one old man who may or may not be Saddam (his wife says no, and his attorneys say they fear the US may kill him before trial to prevent anyone from knowing for sure).

What I see we "got" is no oil and 900 (at least) dead troops and thousands of civilian casualties and a $200 billion dollar bill that AIN'T gonna be paid off by Iraq oil revenues despite what Wolfie told you.

If you'd have paid me one billion dollars, I'd have "got" Saddam for you and made a nine hundred million dollar profit (at least) and nobody but him and some of his cronies would have died.

Your tax dollars at work.
