Well, Godzilla is a result of nuclear testing.

Nuke the nukes!

Sudafed generally makes me tired, too. Red Sudafed just makes me kind of groggy, but the combination of stuff in blue Sudafed will knock me out for a few hours.

Oh no! They say he's got to go - go go Godzilla!
Oh no! There goes Tokyo - go go Godzilla!

Sorry if this is a bit long... but I think it's safe to say that most all of us watch television, and this affects TV....

In July, 2004, “FOX News Live” featured a segment in which a "suburban stay-at-home mom" appeared supporting president Bush over John Kerry in the upcoming November election. The woman, who was identified simply as a former lobbyist who had "started a nonprofit organization for moms" smiled and shilled for the camera, saying that she felt that Bush he would be better able to keep her children safe than John Kerry.

This same woman appeared on FOX again the next month to support the president and bash Teresa Heinz Kerry, and was again identified merely as a "stay-at-home mom.”

Nowhere in either segment was it mentioned that Penny Nance -- this concerned citizen and everymom -- was in fact a long-time conservative operative with ties to several prominent Christian activist organizations. At that time of last summer’s FOX segments, Nance, in addition to being a mom, was also the president of Kids First Coalition, a conservative group for which she was still a registered lobbyist, and a board member of the conservative Christian women's organization Concerned Women for America. Somehow, both FOX and Nance also forgot to mention that she was president of Nance and Associates, a public policy and media consulting firm.

And of course, this woman who in effect lied about who she was – twice – on national television has been hired by the Federal Communications Commission as a “special advisor” to help develop agency policy. And which policy would that be? Specifically, she will help develop the agency’s stance on fining alleged instances of “indecent” content on broadcast and possible cable television.

...

[FCC head Kevin] Martin has long been on record as wanting to enforce stricter indecency fines than Powell had. And Nance is poised to bring her own Biblically-enhanced view to help the cause. The Concerned Women for America, for whom Nance served as a board member until recently, helpfully describes its mission as “helping…to bring Biblical principles into all levels of public policy.” Another cookie-cutter religious right group called The Center for Reclaiming America, for whom Nance also worked as a lobbyist, points out that it sees its mission as one to “defend and implement the Biblical principles on which our country was founded.”

Sounds like just what a secular democracy needs in someone who will have a say in what is able to be broadcast over the nation’s airwaves, doesn’t it?

Will Buffy still be able to call religion 'freaky'?

Oh, and she thinks that the FCC should regulate cable, too....

Scary stuff there, tommy.

Also - SLUT!!!

Will Buffy still be able to call religion 'freaky'?

Depends on the religion.

Will Buffy still be able to call religion 'freaky'?

No, because in the Brave New World of TV, BtVS would not air, as vampires and violence and such are not acceptable.

“defend and implement the Biblical principles on which our country was founded.”

that phrase and similar ones drive me insane. Or did I miss the part in the bible about taxation without representation?
