I prefer surrounding your congressman's car in front of his house with an unruley mob dressed in Halloween costumes. But that's just me - Ah the days of the NEA4...

WOOHOO!

WASHINGTON - Big Bird and National Public Radio won a reprieve Thursday as the House restored $100 million that had been proposed as a budget cut for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

The 284-140 vote demonstrated the enduring political strength of public broadcasting, whose supporters rallied behind popular programs such as "Sesame Street," "Postcards From Buster" and "The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer."

The Public Broadcasting Service undertook a high-profile campaign to rescind the proposed cut. Lawmakers were flooded with letters and phone calls.

Yeah!!! It sucks that they were even considering the cuts, but it's great that they didn't push them through anyway!

Yes, but he did back off on that issue didn't he? And then he even plunked down some of his own dollars to fund LBMA - smarmy bastard.
