Michael Powell to Leave FCC
Anonymous Slashdotter writes "Michael Powell, chairman of the FCC, will be stepping down from his post soon.

As soon as the limelight moves on, he'll take a job with ClearChannel.

Rhymes that keep their secrets will unfold behind the clouds.There upon the rainbow is the answer to a neverending story
No, I don't find it unbelievable.
Wow.
That boom you heard was that joke doing Mach 2 over your head.
It's like an H-Bomb, but no one gets killed and all the Christians get angry.
