A short post.
A small victory.
Rejoice that Dems are in power.
WASHINGTON -- The House Wednesday evening overwhelmingly rejected President Bush's plan to eliminate the $420 million federal subsidy for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
The 357-72 vote demonstrated the enduring political strength of public broadcasting. The outcome was never in doubt, unlike a fight two years ago when Republicans tried but failed to slash public broadcasting subsidies.

The move to kill subsidies for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which make up about 15 percent of its budget, was launched by Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo.
"Taxpayers are being asked to pay more in taxes because Congress is not willing to make hard choices and balance our spending with our income," Lamborn said.
This made me laugh. Where was this asshat Langborn when we were told on several ocaisions that billions in US funds were missing in Iraq? Where was he when the Aoentagon approved companies that our were failing our troops to the tune of billions?
But no, a little public radio where people might hear the truth and his panties are in a wad.
Fucking transparent asshat corrupt Republicans. I know that’s redundant.
