    he's in for $25k ... why does he still have a license? and why does it take the FCC *ten years* to adjudicate this?

    A) The FCC has no teeth;

    B) There exists such a thing as due process;

    C) "I was framed! FRAMED, do you see??!!??"

    D) Etc. ...

    But go ahead and park an unlicensed FMBCB transmitter on some unused frequency and watch how fast they crawl straight up the offender's arse.

    Because the system is set up to protect the innocent. Which means the guilty, when being crafty, can exploit the system to extend things almost indefinitely.

    Witness: A one Mr. Baxter from the New England area. How long did that get dragged out? (And I believe the schmuck is STILL allegedly transmitting from time to time, although allegedly with "assistance" )

    Because it always takes longer to do the right thing than it does to do the wrong things.

    I won't make it any more political than that. But, it rings true.

    Check in to the WARFA Net, despite the garbage.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Unfortunately, the hilarious and effective clown meme has been borrowed by "Klowns" with no "Klass"

    The irony is that there was a group mocking the KKK as the Klu Klux Klowns.

    Which, in further irony, is the group pictured in Da Pope's post above.

    See http://www.redletterchristians.org/k...ast-tennessee/ for the story.

    Well aware of the original clown protests. Love 'em. Which is why I mentioned "White Flour".

    I know I posted it way back when the incident happened. Funny as heck, and effective.

    Kinda hard to figure the (bad) Klowns, as it may be that they are being way over the top with satire.
    Like Stephen Colbert used to do, it was hard to tell. WØRD.
