Well all I know about the FCC is that like many other agencies out there now, they are clamoring for a success story. Essentially, any agency that has received American Revitalization and Recovery Act (ARRA) money is fucked. Just like Cedric the Entertainer said in the "Kings of Comedy" movie, "What am I gonna do with a 1 trillion dollar deficit? I can put somethin' on it..." This is the state of our economic "bail out." Basically, the recipients of these exhorbitant amounts of cash influx have to figure out a way to spend it. So, our taxpayer money is literally being shoveled out of the back of Ryder trucks for con artists and extortionists alike. The documented corruption is almost laughable. For example, most programs at one international development agency, which hapens to be in the U.S., are going to Booz Allen Hamilton, Devis, and AINS, the three contractors working on an over-rated, over-budgeted acquisition/procurement system that has been behind schedule since its inception 5 years ago. So, more money? Great! We will excelerate our stupidity and give more to the contractors who are bringing us a failing project. Brilliant! In another example, I could set up a card table at three rec centers in shithole Detroit and call them "Transition Information Kiosks," garnering over 1 million dollars per annum to help ghetto idiots figure out how to hook up DTV. And the DTV transition postponement? Pure payoff from Obama to his past socialist colleagues to fill their coffers with outreach funds. That's what you get when you elect a novice.
OK, sorry for the rant but I am really pissed that we lost our softball game tonight. At least I got free margaritas out of the deal.
