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.
