1. The Christian Coalition will be there, too.

Does lying, bribery, graft and bottomless greed count as decency?

2. I don't really think he's talking about decency in the media, but

more about offering cable customers the option to purchase only the chanels they want instead of having to buy entire packges.

I'd like to be able to do that too, but I'm afraid the cable co's will simply make it too expensive.

I know, of the 800 chanels I receive, I only watch 18, and even some of those are watched very rarely.

5. How much money could I save...

if I didn't have to pay for those HUGELY expensive sports channels?

7. They never answer that question, but I'd bet not much!

My guess would be that they would charge so much for the individual ones, you'd still end up paying less for the whole package than just buying only the ones you really want.

3. That is funny. Decency and Ted in the same breath.

Lets say his second family came fast after his first was gone.I really do not care about that but when you use him for decency one has to wonder what the word means. We need Newt out there telling us what to do next. If you do not like what is on just turn the thing off.

6. for me, it's not just the shows , the commercials have become

just as disgusting. the argument that you can just change the channel

doesn't hold any longer. i'm talking about violence. i saw one the other

day and this guy's head explodes and splatters everyone with his brains.
