How many of you watch C-Span?

No one? That’s about what I thought.

Well – they have C-Span out here in the Middle East. And it’s a premium. That’s right – you have to pay EXTRA to get Democracy in action on your cable network out here. Hannah Montana? Free. Family Fat Surgeon? Free. The Ellen DeGeneres Show ? Even that is free (I can’t get rid of it no matter how hard I try…). But C-Span will cost you. And these suckers pay for it! This is where the Middle East learns how America works.
