ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!Presidential Politics remain front and center for the bobbleheads this Sunday. Plenty of people to throw bricks at! The Tim-less Meet the Press will have a "debate" between LINDSEY GRAHAM and JOE BIDEN, hosted by anchor BRIAN WILLIAMS. Then, Face the Bob will let CARLY FIORINA and BILL RICHARDSON battle it out. This Snuffagopolis talks oil and energy with KAY BAILY HUTCHINSON and ED MARKEY. Not to be outdone, U-Boat Captain Blizter features a 3x3 tag-team steel cage matchup between R's and D's. Fake News gets a matchup of toms with TOM DASCHLE and TOM "Color Code" RIDGE. If you don't know what "plumpynut" is then tune in 60 Minutes. You should then switch on that internet radio for an interview with VINCE BUGLIOSI on Ring of Fire Radio. There should be discussion of the "new" FISA Bill "compromise" that passed the US House 293-129 (find how your congresscritter voted HERE - H.R. 6304). Heads expoded all over the internets when Presumtive Candidate Obama said "So I support the compromise". Less than a day later, Obama proclaimed "I will work in the Senate to remove this provision so that we can seek full accountability for past offenses" (CBS News). Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-MilqueToast-Nev., however, said that he may schedule a separate vote on stripping immunity from the bill, although he expressed pessimism about its success. "Probably we can't take that out of the bill, but I'm going to try." Now THAT's some INSPIRING words there, Harry! Nothing like letting the principles of the 4th Amendment just go up in smoke. The ACLU called the vote "Christmas morning at the White House" and concluded, "The House should be ashamed of itself. The fate of the Fourth Amendment is now in the Senate’s hands. We can only hope senators will show more courage than their colleagues in the House." The ACLU is fighting back with a coalition called "STRANGE BEDFELLOWS". See John Amato at Crooks and Liars Strange Bedfellows meet on FISA and sign up at http://www.thestrangebedfellows.com right away! After hearing the House vote, The Brick TeeVee crew immediately began digging for important papers, like birth certificates, passports and other legal docs, fearing the worst.

Hey there Filthy Rich! Brick TeeVee -- STILL the best part of the Sunday talkies!
Our clueless congresscritters should read riverdaughter. She had this suggestion for dealing with the telecoms:
Now, I don’t know about you but I have my own criteria as to what would have been the correct response to the FISA debacle. If I were King of the Forest, I would make sure that our constitutionally guaranteed civil liberties were protected. The proposed bill would have to be structured in such a way that new surveillance techniques would not infringe upon them.
As for telecom immunity, I’m a more practical individual. There is a lot of room here for negotiation. The power is in the hands of Congress to compel the telecomms to compromise on more market competition. If we punish the telecomms with class action lawsuits, the only people who will benefit will be the lawyers. The average customer will not likely see a big payoff. What are you going to get? A check for a $100 or a credit for your next month’s phone bill? You, I and the fencepost know this is the all too typical result. BUT, what if you could force the telecomms to allow ala carte programming on your cable system or infrastructure improvements or mandatory guidelines for better customer service? What if you could forbid big telecomms from bidding on newly available radio spectra or force them to open their networks to your favorite cellphone?
Wouldn’t this be better than decimating them and sending potentially thousands of their workers to the unemployment lines? And so what if some of them *did* take a hit? Wouldn’t their workers benefit from the increased competition as well by having more new start up companies to work for?
Just sayin’...
