radio, we'll have to accept infotainment as fact, since we'll have no
alternative.
The Court Jester was the one guy who could get away with criticising
the King. The Daily Show rules. That and the BBC World Service (on
XM and Sirius 24/7) keep me reasonably sane. If all 6 of those
satellites fall down, I still have a house full of shortwaves.

Perhaps we should all have 40 Channel CBs, just in case.

Might be a good idea if the cell phone networks are shut down after a
terrorist attack (to prevent cell phones from being used as timers). I
remember when everybody carried an "emergency" CB in their car. Nowadays
we use cell phones. But the cell phone networks are vulnerable to
terrorist attack or being shut down after a terrorist attack.

If it's criticism of the king that you want, there's always Radio
Havana...

This country has a long standing tradition of mocking power by telling
the truth. It is part of the fabric of our democracy.

Now that I think about it, it goes back further...
