You Go Girl!



Now, Gay Califonians can experience the winder and majesty of 'Mawwaige'. Congrats!

In other news, XM and Siruis can merge. But before that can happen, the Congressional Black Caucus is starting a 'Ruckus'.

"Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin J. Martin said over the weekend that he would support the merger after XM Satellite Radio Holdings and Sirius Satellite Radio voluntarily agreed, among a series of other concessions, to lease 4 percent of their radio spectrums, or 12 channels, for programming run by minorities and women.

Members of the black caucus on Capitol Hill have been arguing for the merged company to lease five times that amount of spectrum to companies owned by racial minorities. Short of that, caucus members have warned in letters to the commission and meetings with Martin, they would oppose the merger. "


The Fairness Doctrine makes it to Satellite.
