“Correctumondo. Baseball and insurance - exempt from antitrust laws.”
Also add the BCS (college bowl system).
I was aware of that but I thought it was being preempted by the O on Cable news as well. :)
It is not.
BINGO!!!
THAT is the talking point of the week, folks!!
“Insurance was created for CATASTOPHIC EVENTS”, not everyday spending!
I’ve got it on in another window...there’s a sweet little bird’s nest right outside the window at blinco I’m checking out...
Finally someone said it....it is a gov power play!
Keep your fingers crossed, so far so good!
Which bill?
The students just don’t get it!
just like some of the voters
“The students just don’t get it!”
Oh, but they’ll be getting it alright. But for now, they’re in their “student: I can save the world” fantasy. Every infant goes thru it.
They’re young, probably obamabots, they don’t realize under this plan, someday they will be over 65 and this nonsense will effect THEM, and they don’t realize if their parents are over 65 they willnot get good medical care....these kids are not looking at the BIG picture, not looking at reality.
This is the show that FNC needs to repeat all weekend. I know FNC repeats one show at various times on Sat. and Sun.
Even though there are “obamacare” supporters here, it actually lends more credibility to Beck, because he’s not stocking the room with anti-obamacare folks. In effect, he’s showing how he is more honest than the Obama Administration. Nobody will be able to come back and go “hey, all those guys were from the country club!”

I called the BlinkoTV guys today and they said that the networks contacted them and gave them cease and desist letters. They didn’t sound happy about it at all because I’m sure a majority of their users were people at work who wanted internet access to the news outlets.
It comes down to money... Cable providers and Satellite providers are protecting their assets. The internet is a magical wonderful place that we should embrace, but when it messes with someones cookie jar, the lawyers come out to play.
I personally don’t subscribe to Cable TV or Satellite and get all my information through the net. It sucks for me cause I’ve come to rely on BlinkoTV to provide me with live news feeds (Like yesterday’s Captain Falcon and the UFO ride that never was.)
I really hope Fox News can find a way to lead on the streaming internet tv thing... I remember CNN trying a similar thing with their pipeline service (which I actually subscribed to (it was like pennies a month and I couldn’t pass up having 4 raw news feeds (no commentary, just the raw sat link up footage as well as CNN International)) Of course, they stopped that pay service years ago, then went to a It’s free, but we’ll only broadcast during the day... which wasn’t as good... and now I don’t even think pipeline exists anymore...
I really hope the networks and channels will just skip the middleman (or at least convince the middlemen to let them stream as they see fit.) It would be better for the consumer, and in the long run the networks and channels. (It gives them more control over their product and how it’s broadcast.)
And for those who worry about revenue... The internet is still a place to advertise, and there are MANY eyeballs out there! (The key issue to hammer home are these two: (1) People at work who want to watch YOUR PROGRAMMING while at work, and (2) New Viewers who you weren’t reaching otherwise.)
Ok, that should do it... /rant

LOL! The Marxists will never let ‘em get to 65. They’ll be “obsolete”.
