Looks like it might be time to install TrueCrypt for all of my files.

People like this really scare me:

Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) told nationally syndicated talk host Bill Press this morning that the recent flips of liberal Talk stations in several markets were a “disservice to the public.”

Stabenow said that, in the day of the Fairness Doctrine, “you had to have balance,” and continued, “I think something that requires that in a market with owners that have multiple stations that they have got to have balance — there has to be some community interest — balance, you know, standard that says both sides have to be heard.”

Stabenow told Press that the airwaves are “dominated by one view” that “overwhelms people’s opinions — and, unfortunately, incorrectly,” and said that “right-wing conservative talk hosts” are “trying to make people angry and saying all kinds of things that aren’t true and so on.”

When Press asked if it is time to bring back the Fairness Doctrine, Stabenow responded, “I think it’s absolutely time to pass a standard.” To Press’ inquiry as to whether she will push for hearings in the Seante “to bring these owners in and hold them accountable,” Stabenow replied, “I have already had some discussions with colleagues, and, you know, I feel like that’s going to happen. Yep.”

Unfortunately, I’m not shocked by this. But I’m still mad has hell about it!

The elections are finally over and we’re finally free from political ads, mailings and phone calls. Obama is headed to the White House and the Democrats have even more control over the House and Senate.

But, there’s always a catch. And here it is Democrats.

If you have learned anything from the Republicans over the past 8 years it is to not squander your opporunity by doing dumb things. Let’s look at the Republicans a minute and figure out why they are not in power any more.

I couldn’t be happier to see Ted Stevens go! For those that don’t know, Ted has been found guilty on several federal felonies and has been one of the bigger pork barrel abusing politicians in recent history.

Ted Stevens most publicized pork barrel project has involved the spending of your hard earned tax dollars on the bridge to nowhere.

Fortunately for the American people, Uncle Ted has lost his re-election bid.

My tax dollars feel a little safer now that Ted will no longer be back in Washington!
