Spectrum of Greed

Now we should see some changes!

His name is Michael Copps (not pictured - I am a Mel Brooks fan so picked a different sheriff).  And is he needed!  The last staff survey of FCC personnel that measured the ‘honesty and integrity’ of FCC leadership came back with a 38% approval rating.  For those that are numbers challenged, this indicates that 62% of FCC employees think we have unethical scum bags running the joint.  In an ars blog appropriately titled, ‘DeMartinizing the FCC‘, Matthew Lasar details several very telling statements that make me want to stand and shout, “Hallelujah!”  Of course, people would give me very funny looks if I actually did that.  I liked his blog article photoshop - check it out.  Thanks. 

While Copps is only interim, it sounds like he is planning to actually try to get the ball rolling on real change even before his successor gets approved and in.  I think that is a wise idea too, because the fat cats in congress that stand to gain the most from no change would have absolutely no reason to hurry along the approval of a radical new head of the FCC unless of course the interim head was seen as an even greater threat!  These guys are playing their cards the right way!  Whoo hoo!!
