I understand why you're laughing it up. Really.

It's either that, or contemplate the shrinking list of things you're still allowed to do legally.

So knock yourself out.

Actually, I have two minds regarding the advertising ban if that is what you are upset about.

If the purpose is to have orderly elections, we need to have them be as rational and factual as possible. With the ban, we will still get the dirt dished to us, it will just happen months in advance of the election instead of the day before. for example, the DWI report regarding Bush was saved for maximum damage. Voters reacted emotionally with few facts and without the entire story. Now, if there is damaging information the card will have to be played early on. If its truly bad it will stick. If its just a dirty trick, it will pass to the memory bin by November.

On the other hand. I don't like the precedent it sets and I don't like the problem that occurs if damaging information is discovered after the deadline. The precedent could begin a process by which congress controls more and more of our public airways for elections.
