Weekend open thread

I’ll be away most of the day Saturday for a girls day out with my mom and my sisters, so ya’ll take care of the place until I can return, please

Mini-rant: If I see one more “male enhancement” or “female contraception” commercial tonight, I think I’m going to scream!

I was out driving around the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania and passed a couple of those electronic billboards sporting the image of Obama with “Hope”.

Frankly, I got a creepy feeling that I hadn’t had since I first watched the older version of “1984? decades ago. All that was missing was .. “Big Brother .. Big Brother”

Exactly who is paying for these signs ? Isn’t the election over ?

Frankly, I think Obama has now undermined the ability of any defense of a possible return of the “Fairness Doctrine”. By going after Rush Limbaugh, Obama has now focused with specificity a “laser beam” on Rush Limbaugh.

I seem to recall a tiff starting in 1988 involving the Boston Herald, then owned by R Murdoch, being critical of Sen. Kennedy and the Kennedy slipping an amendment into legislation to force the sale of Murdoch holdings including a Boston TV station and the New York Post. Kennedy had bragged that this was a hit job on Murdoch and eventually the SCOTUS agreed, striking down the amendment because it targeted an individual with the specificity a “laser beam”, a practice specially prohibited by the US Constitution.

Obama’s signaling of personal attacks on Limbaugh will provide plenty of room to use the same defense against any legislation involving the reinstatement of the “Fairness Doctrine” as a method of pushing Limbaugh off the air.
