What a fucking joke

The Supreme Court of the United States has agreed to review a lower court ruling that overturned the Federal Communications Commission's ridiculous regulations barring so-called "fleeting obscenities", and don't be surprised if they overturn that ruling. The right wing Republican court has no particular love of unfettered free speech and we may as well get used to our rights being chipped away until we turn around and they are gone. This will get even worse if McCain gets elected in the autumn. so those of us who instinctively would probably not choose either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama and might consider a protest vote for someone closer to our true politics probably need to reconsider.

Oh, if SCOTUS does allow the regulations to go forward, the rest of the world, with the exception of Riyadh, Tehran and Vatican City, will be laughing.
