The age of Hope&Change finds us in need of new vocabulary. It would seem the "weeweeupedness" taking place in the "lamestream media" over the new Congress has predictably entered "silly season." From Media Research Center:

Couric Frets: 'Is There Danger Budget Cuts Will Be Too Deep?'
CBS's Smith: GOP On 'Fool's Errand' of 'Dismantling Health Care'
MSNBC's Brewer: 'GOP's Big, Fat Budget Ax Could Mean Real Pain For Many Americans'

"...there is no turning back!"
Affirmative. I doubt FCC will get to first base trying to reign in the net. Once people get a taste of real freedom they won't let it go. Wonder why they made it the First Ammendment. Well no, I don't.
