clipped from: www.huffingtonpost.com The most significant takeover of the past decade isn't to be found among the telecoms, the big oil companies, or in Silicon Valley. The reconfigured entity is headquartered in Washington, but we can see and hear the results everyday on your television, radio, and computer screen. And America is much the worse for it.

These days, the only thing that separates the RNC and Rush Limbaugh is a prescription for OxyContin.
