Read this first. Then marvel at a governmental body who has the chutzpah to decide for the entire country that “bullshit” must be bleeped. Amaze yourself further that words far more offensive to the general populace are apparently OK, and then do a doubletake again at the thought that the FCC feels the need to police speech at all.

The First Amendment gets more tattered by the day—I just went to dinner with an old friend last night who told me he was accused of passing out subversive literature while working at a Boy Scout camp several years ago. His tracts? The Declaration of Independence and the Consitution. Time to brush up. And maybe this one for good measure.
