Star Man posted:There is a school that I sub at regularly that has a morning prayer every day. It's spoken in Arapahoe. One of the schools I work at had a bunch of teachers get really sour on the idea of doing any more christmas stuff because the santa paradox was getting too much of an issue among the kids (why does santa give rich kids better presents than poor kids) to the point it wasn't fun to talk about santa anymore and the religious angle of christmas was already out. Atheism and anti-capitalism wins again.

Jealous Cow posted:https://twitter.com/margarita/status/944235363891077121 “On first read, one might easily conclude that today’s enforcement action by the Republican-led FCC represents a strong stand against a company with a history of skirting FCC rules,” she said. “But take a closer look: contrary to what the FCC majority would have you believe, the nearly $13.4 million fine levied against Sinclair Broadcast Group represents a mere slap on the wrist.” She added, “Simply put, the ‘punishment does not fit the crime’ against a company that grossed more than $2.7 billion in revenue last year.” The FCC said that it acted on an anonymous complaint that Sinclair had aired paid programming about the Huntsman Cancer Center during its news programs, but did not tell viewers that Huntsman paid for the stories to air. The FCC’s enforcement bureau found that Sinclair and the foundation entered into an agreement “under which Sinclair produced and supplied programming to both Sinclair and non-Sinclair television stations.” “This programming promoted the Foundation and the Institute and included 60- to 90-second sponsored stories made to look like independently generated news coverage and 30-minute paid television programs,” the FCC said. Clyburn noted in her statement that Sinclair has been fined repeatedly over the years, including a $9.5 million settlement in 2016 for failing to negotiate in good faith for retransmission consent negotiations, and sanctions for violating other regulations, including children’s television rules. Rosenworcel said, “In light of this substantial history of failure to comply with our policies and the sheer number of violations before the agency now, the immediate notice should seek the highest fines permissible under our rules. But instead of doing so, we offer unreasonable and suspicious favor to a company with a clear record of difficulty complying with the law.”

She is the steven colbert character if it had come from someone who actually thought the stuff. In the same way the daily show jon stewart was actually a liberal and mostly agreed with the liberal views of the show but also was playing a bit and didn't literally think the silly stuff the show said word for word.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:So how specifically does Trump signing the bill in 2017 gently caress up the GOP plans for 2018? Paygo kicking in in 2018 would be a big problem so if nothing else the Dems have an unexpected amount of leverage. Edit paygo is a dumb system that triggers automatic cuts if the deficit is at a certain level unless paygo is explicitly waived

biracial bear for uncut posted:Numbers 5:11-21 is literally "Priests can force women to have a miscarriage if they are accused of infidelity", Hosea 13:16 is the "rip pregnant women open to kill both mother and child" bit, along with 1st Samual 15:3.  I am not saying that those parts don't exist, I'm saying that those parts won't ever come up in church and therefore to most of these people those parts aren't in the bible.

Today I found out about several TV stations near me shutting down in an FCC channel "repack" that will also involve new standards requiring a converter box. However inside of one station's announcement was an interesting tidbit: http://wothtv.com/ WOTH-TV posted:We can confirm Newsmax won’t make the transition to WKRP Channel 25. The network informed us they are ceasing agreements with their broadcast affiliates So no more Newsmax on broadcast TV

Don't know the details, if it's actually giving them new money or just shuffling it around to put off the programs going broke a little longer. The issue still needs to be seriously addressed but people won't immediately get thrown off their insurance.

If the Dems managed to get CHIP funded for the immediate future that's a big victory. Yes they'll need to do more soon but the best they could do for the time being was buy time. Also it'll help for the 2018 elections that the Dems can campaign on CHIP and how the Republicans are holding it hostage.
