Lie Lie Lie. (boom) Lie Lie Lie Lie, Lie Lie Lie.
Lie Lie Lie. (boom) Lie Lie Lie Lie, Lie Lie Lie, Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie.

No, I'm not blogging about the Boxer, but one of my favorite blog targets: Comcast. As you may have heard, Comcast wants to buy NBC. In Comcast's statement, was this whopper of a lie:
we believe that this transaction is, and will be determined to be, pro-competitive, pro-consumer, and strongly in the public interest
"Pro-competitive" and "pro-consumer" are two terms that that are among the very last adjectives that I would ever apply to Comcast. I've not known anybody to have have a good word about Comcast's attitude towards its residential customers. Everyone I know in my area has been more or less royally hacked off at Comcast's switch to digital; everyone knows that Comcast is just fucking with people because they can. In an era of low inflation rates and, in the last year, zero to even a slight touch of deflation, Comcast still keeps bumping their rates up.

There is nothing in the Comcast-NBC merger that will be good for consumers. You can take that to the bank.

I can think of few things less good for consumers. Or the American infrastructure.

By the way--you might consider staking spammers out on fire ant mounds, just for variety.

About the only thing that would be worse would be to rip up the fiber-optic and microwave networks so that everyone has to go back to two-wire comms and VHF TV.

Heh. My first thought upon seeing that headline was 'And Congressman, what is your strategy for your upcoming re-election campaign?'
