This sounds pretty serious. The environment is going to disappear! This is even worse than the rape liberals normally say conservatives want to do to the environment, as in, "Bush and the oil companies want to rape Alaska". If they would have just done their usual rape of the environment, I wouldn't get too nervous. No this time they're going to eviscerate it. We have at most a year to live. I just want to say to all my friends here at FR, it's been nice knowing ya!!
A recent Masterpiece import from UK, The Forsyth Saga, was supposed to be shot in the arm to the "ailing" network. However, it has been a shot in the foot. (The basic problem with the series was that the lead actress was coyote-ugly. Why watch a goat-ugly woman hour after hour when MTV, etc are available?) Their ratings are down and their icons like Louis R. are on other networks. Other than federal monies, their donations decreased along with other charities in the post-9-11/recession economy. Furthermore, corporations who advertise on it are spending less on ads and can spend it more effectively with a greater audiences elsewhere.
No wonder they have tried to insulate themselves against the full effects of capitalism!
I wish I could do the same but unfortunately despite a favorable redistricting giving my congressional district a majority of Bush voters in a state that voted for Gore, the GOP in this state is totally inept and hasnt put up a good candidate in my congressional district in awhile now plus the national GOP has been ignoring congressional races in my state despite the fact that three seats currently controlled by Dems would be competitive with more money. Heck they were GOP controlled back in 1998. Stupid GOP. This could have been a landslide.
"John F. Kennedy told Harvard students that "he knew Joe pretty well, and he may have something." In February 1952, John Kennedy called McCarthy a "great American patriot." In 1953 Bobby Kennedy joined McCarthy's staff and McCarthy was godfather to Bobby's first child. Bobby was always loyal to Joe. " (!)
He is being held for observation.
Good luck...click on my name for over 100 Republicans who voted NOT to decrease funding 1%. ~sigh

Isn't Moyers the one who published a lie about Barry Goldwater during the 1964 campaign and then refused to apologize?
No one cares if these blowhards talk, we're just sick to death of having to pay for it with our tax dollars. Bye-bye to the biased one-sided PBS liberal diatribes.
