I’ll take whatever I can get at this point.

Freedom has been so nice, while it’s lasted. But these marxists(in this instance, at the FCC) are so close to realizing their dreams.

The fat lady hasn’t sung yet. She’s obviously clearing her throat, and the stage is lit. The orchestra is playing the main set in expectance of her arrival on stage. But she hasn’t sung yet.

Wow. The impressive Conservative stalwart Kay is in charge of this. I don't have a worry in the world that somehow this will turn out swell.
