FCC loses key ruling on Internet `neutrality’

“I believe in the separation of Corporation and State”
# 1: It’s a problem, but it’s fixable if Congress acts quickly. They certainly have authority to regulate interstate commerce to ensure the free flow of information over the internet.
In the meantime, Europe and Asia are moving quickly to expand data access at speeds we can only dream of. Visitors from Japan whisper and giggle among themselves when they see how slow our network and cell phone networks work, they say they haven’t seen speeds that slow in almost ten years.
Go John Stewart!
You’d think that after spending weeks in the digital bush of the iPhone SDK, iPhone (and now iPad) unfriendly video would be avoided by our genial host.
@2, good bumpersticker. I believe in the corporate death penalty as a means of insuring corporate misbehavior, and also that all corporations have a limited life span of no more than say, 110 years, after which they die like other people, those having flesh and blood. They want equality of rights, the basic rights are death and taxation, and they are welcome to them both.
“They want equality of rights, the basic rights are death and taxation, and they are welcome to them both.”
That fucking teabagger from Massey, Blankenship, comes to mind. Safety violations and dead miners. The deaths of workers in light of mine safety violations must make our KLOWN proud of Massey’s teabagging CEO.
Oops, that should read “I believe in the corporate death penalty as a means of insuring AGAINST corporate misbehavior”. I make many mistakes. The meaning is a bit different.
@6 Steve, my standard meterstick is Bhopal, but if this disaster is the result of unlawful misconduct, that’s exactly my thinking. Break up the company, sell the assets to outside investors and/or workers with the proceeds to cover damages to the families and governmental rescue costs. Policy makers held for the consequences of those decisions if deliberate avoidance of the law was intended, manslaughter at least. Corporate charters ought not be a license to break the law for a tax-deductable fee. Organizations are unavoidable for getting things done, and profits are a good thing, but they aren’t the only thing.
Yet another Oba-Mao nominee hiding important sh*t!! This KLOWN tried to hide 117 Speeches, papers etc. 117!! It was an obvious attempt to deceive. Wait until you see the stuff this KLOWNS tried to hide!!

@8 Ignorant fool Klynical
thanbks for the idiotioc FauwNews link: of course this nominee (Liu) is one of the most highly qualified to EVER come to committe. And of course the republicans rightwingnuts are upset becuase he is “too liberal” so they are trying to invent stuff to keep him off the 9th circuit.
Yup – we should instead nominate people who are unqualified (such as this nomination by Bush):
Yup – the hypocrite and fool Klynical is at it again….failing to understand the bias of Faux News.
So, goodwin turned in some additional info – so WHAT?
Boy, you are REALLY STOOOPID Klynical and you swallow the rightwingnut crap whole.
God, when Justice Stevens retires from the Supreme Court I hope Obama nominates Michael Moore.
Not that he’s qualified, but so many conservative heads would explode at the same moment that we’d never lose another election.
Cynical, from your FauxNews link: “The complaint came after Liu, a Berkeley law professor, gave the Senate Judiciary Committee a bundle of supplemental material that contained 117 things he left out after his February nomination.”
So when you say “hide”, that’s what the rest of us call “disclose”, because later in the story it’s revealed that Prof Liu found these pieces himself while double checking to ensure his entire record was available to be checked. I couldn’t do that, bet you couldn’t that for your own nom-de-plume self either. But wingnuts never measure themselves by the same standards they set for anyone they don’t happen to like.
It seems that the Republican National Committee is having more problems with embarrasing expenditures.
First to come to light was the blowup among Florida Republicans over the state chairman and his aid owning a firm which received 10% kickbacks on all donations to the RNC. The governor’s Tea-Party opponant in the Florida Senate race isn’t all that clean, either, having used his PAC AmEx card for expenses which look a lot like luxory travel and meals for himself and his family.
Next came the RNC’s “Young Eagle’s” $1,900+ trip to the West Hollywood nightclub, details of which are common knowledge and need not be repeated again here.
Then came a general rebellion within the RNC doner base at national Chariman Steele’s “extravegant” spending habits.
Finally, today another Republican has defected from the party, after finding that the RNC had spent almost $2,000 at a New Hampshire winery which it called “office supplies”. Yep, they make some dang fine coffee for RNC coffee machines at that New Hamshire winery, for sure.

Amid RNC’s woes, N.H. activist resigns seat
Another thing that’s hillarious in the article is Newt Gingrich being positioned (again) as a Presidential contender in 2012.
Yea, just wait until he starts to talk about “family values”, after divorcing his first wife while she was in the hospital having cancer surgery, and calling for Bill Clinton’s impeachment on moral grounds while he was engaging in adultery with his own intern prior to divorcing his second wife.
And when he talks about “moral virtue”, lets bring up why he was removed as Majority Leader in the first place, and how he conspired to avoid the restrictions of the Republican-led Ethics Committee afterwards.
Funny thing is, in light of Republicans today, he actually doesn’t seem like quite the radical right-wing fanatic he did twelve years ago. I guess it’s just a matter of perspective.
