From the "Slopping the Hogs" department, which is the way that former Congressman Barney Frank used to refer to his biennial efforts at
sincerity ...
Our electred representatives have ordered the FCC to do its best to
create an intimation of the vague posibility of further exploration of
the chances for them to start doing their duty.
It's time for another election, which is when our public servants go
around promising the hogs^h^h^h^h voters that they're doing important
things - like protecting their phony-baloney jobs.
The Democratic party - a word I've always thought should be applied as described in Google's first listed meaning of "a social gathering of
invited guests, typically involving eating, drinking, and
entertainment." - is decrying "MAGA Republicans" at the same time it
tries to win a race-to-the-bottom of the list of the electorate's
worst fears.
Are you afraid of your boss knowing you attended a protest during your
college days? The FCC is on the job, busily toiling to create the
impression that it cares how much your boss or your cow-orkers or the
company Chairmen know about what you did before you accepted their
employment offer.
Are you afraid of potential employers knowing that you visited Planned Parenthood before you came in for the interview about the new
work-at-home opportunity? The FCC is on the job, with their noses to
the government grindstone, toiling to create the impression that
"someone" in our nation's capital actually cares about you or your
future - or anything other than preserving their phony-baloney jobs.
Are you afraid of your company's benefit coordinator finding out that
you visited an Oncologist? Well, the FCC is on the job, sparing no
expense to create the impression that you deserve to take advantage of
the health insurance you've been paying for during all those years
you've been lifting the corporate barge and toteing the corporate
bale.
Better believe it, suckers: the Dem-o-crats have you and your future
in mind - until one millisecond after you leave the voting booth in
November.
After that, they'll go back to trading favors with their Republican
friends and practicing speeches with their image consultants, and
accepting free drinks and free jet rides and free stays at exclusive
and very discreet beach resorts, from the corporate lobbyists they
pretend to abhor whenever the cameras are running.
Of course, they'll also go back to telling the FCC to get busy moving
the government goods: every single iota of the public airwaves that
can be sold, so that there will be more money for bridges-to-nowhere,
more money for shiny things that the Generals and the Admirals can
brag about at the Officers club, and more money for the jobs they'll
award to their campaign consultants and image consultants and
pollsters during the "off season" when they don't have to slop the
hogs.
