FCC Chairman Powell Resigns

FRIDAY JANUARY 21 2005 2:32 PM

Submitted by NoFi. Edited By Michael_J_Totten.

Controversial FCC chairman Michael Powell handed in his resignation today.

In his statement on leaving the comission Powell said "Having completed a bold and agressive agenda, it is time for me to pursue other opportunities and let someone else take the reigns of the agency." He goes on to add: "The seeds of our policies are taking firm root in the marketplace and are starting to blossom. The use of cell phones, digital televisions, personal video recorders, and digital music players, is exploding. These devices are increasingly connected anytime, anywhere by a wide variety of broadband networks enabling a host of competitive services and new apllications. Our children will inherit this exciting future."

Whether you loved him or hated him, he made a lot of changes that will surely be felt for years to come.

I hope he's replaced by somebody a bit more pro-boobie. Pixelation just ruins it for me.

Someone who shrugs at boobies would be an improvement, although it takes a special kind of person to shrug at boobies.

I get all fuzzy knowing that somewhere, somehow, Howard Stern is celebrating.
