2009 Predictions

[RobTheDrummer]

I predict that I will beat Left 4 Dead before 2010!

Been there, done that!

I just remembered another one that I forgot.

The "Fairness Doctrine" will get passed & signed into law before Congress manages to do anything useful (not that they ever do anything useful).

For those of you who are not familiar with the fairness doctrine...

Since liberal, progressive and left-wing media shows cannot raise a large enough audience to break even, it is difficult to keep these shows on the air, even with George Soros bankrolling them.

This bill would require all networks on public airways to present "equal time" for all "political views", irregardless of commercial viability. The law contains no definition as to what constitutes opposing "political views" and leaves the matter in the hands of bureaucrats.

This is what I like to call the castration of the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.

Yep, straight up fucking with freedoms, however you won't hear liberals bitch about this like they did the patriot act...one where "freedoms" are taken away from suspected terrorists. Makes sense to me!
