2. Thanks for keeping a watchful eye on the Senate for us

This is an important day, hopefully the dems and a few repubs can get this right. Of course we can count on Zell to be the sellout.

McCain is speaking now coming out strongly against UCC expanding ownership rules. Good, that's one repub.

edit: Wow, not only does he not want this expansion, he asks for an investigation of current media ownership.
