Yeah, just what the founding fathers wanted, government-run media ... oh, wait ... I'll be recording my non-scripted non-funded podcast this weekend after driving across state lines without filing papers or showing my passport at the Alabamastan state border. Once recorded on my Chinese-made audio recorder, I'll be editing it on a computer designed in Texas, built in Taiwan and stored on a server in LA (which is on a hosting service that charges me money if I go over a bandwidth cap) and it will be available on iTunes and Zune Marketplace to be downloaded onto the audience's Chinese made MP3 players. Something tells me if I needed the government to do that for me it would cost $30,000 in somebody elses tax dollars, take two weeks to produce and sound like it was recorded on a Victrola ... and me in a format unreadable unless your audio system runs ADA or FORTRAN. -- Brian Richardson - http://whatthecast.com - http://siliconchef.com - http://dragoncontv.com - http://www.3chip.com
