the mall is one of the showplaces of the estates united. the mall has been an embarrassment for the past couple of years. no reason to maintain the mall, the whitehouse or lawn the capitol grounds, ect, as the usa has been a tremendous embarrassment to itself for quite a number of years.

There's bound to be a train wreck, whenever the switchover occurs. As someone who has always received his TV with a rooftop antenna, and who has an eleven year old analog set ($200 at Belmont-TV - which still delivers a beautiful picture), I have already made the conversion. The process would be

PBS, no favorite of the neocons, stood to lose $22M with a delay. The legislation did not require the stations to not switch. It merely relaxed the requirement that they do switch. If the station did not care about its audience it was free to switch at anytime. The law also allocated funds to

House voted it down. No delay. The neocons are on a tear. They are probably pissed off that Citi was stopped from spending $50,000,000 on a new airplane toy. So no TV for the poor and no grass for the Washington Mall.
