Dear Cable Company:

Please take C-SPAN off my TV.

Thanks.

Every once in a while, the remote lands on C-SPAN. Today, the ammendments to the 2007 Defense Appropriations Bill caught my eye. Paraphrasing Rep. Ray La Hood (R-IL):

This is a heat-resistant battery. It wouldn't have been created if not for a public/private partnership.


$2.5 million for a heat-resistant battery. As La Hood commented later: to me, this is a no-brainer.

Radley Balko was interviewed on WBT in Charlotte Friday. The callers after the substitute host let Radley go are precious. To his credit, the host stuck to his guns, even in the face of overwhelming evidence that he was wrong.
