Something Nice

I was going to post about a couple of things that Congress has done or is doing that piss me off. One is the fact that when I am sick and need Sudafed, I have to fill out a form and sign my life away because some people use it to make speed and some other people decided that there was a crystal meth epidemic. The other was the fact that four Senators (two Republicans and two Democrats) on the Commerce committee have written a bill that says if one of the TV networks accidentally broadcasts someone cursing say at a live sporting event or on a news report from Iraq or an awards show, the network should be fined. I guess since they have successfully solved such problems as homelessness, health care and the war, now they can go forward with the real problems in this country like cursing on television. Good job, legislative branch! Actually though, Congress has done something good in the last couple of days: they overwhelmingly rejected a bill that would have cut the public broadcasting budget by 15%. That makes up for all the other stuff for now.
