Yes this is lifted from Slashdot, but I was excited to see Congress following up on my idea (!) is looking into outrageous Cable TV rates and is threatening legislative action. Might as well get my Comcast bashing all done in one day. On the idea of cable channel packages,

“When I go to the grocery store to buy a quart of milk, I don’t have to buy a package of celery and a bunch of broccoli,” (Senator) McCain said. “I don’t like broccoli.”

I love the a la carte idea. It will cut my cable bill in half. Except they will probably charge $2/mo/channel making their packages look like a bargain.
