FCC violation alert

I wonder how much the DNC is going to be fined for this little episode as John Kerry’s acceptance speech ended.

DNC Convention Director Don Mischer:

‘Go balloons, go balloons! Go balloons! I don’t see anything happening. Go balloons! Go balloons! Go balloons! Standby confetti. Keep coming, balloons. More balloons. Bring it- balloons, balloons, balloons! We want balloons, tons of them. Bring them down. Let them all come. No confetti. No confetti yet.

‘No confetti. All right, go balloons, go balloons. We need more balloons. All balloons! All balloons! Keep going! Come on, guys, lets move it. Jesus! We need more balloons. I want all balloons to go, goddammit. Go confetti. Go confetti. More confetti. I want more balloons. What’s happening to the balloons? We need more balloons.

‘We need all of them coming down. Go balloons- balloons? What’s happening balloons? There’s not enough coming down! All balloons, what the hell! There’s nothing falling! What the fuck are you guys doing up there? We want more balloons coming down, more balloons. More balloons. More balloons’…

(Emphasis added.)

And does the profanity fine (assuming there is going to be one) come out of Kerry’s $75 million campaign fund?

(Found at the Drudge Report.)

Damn Hippies call for action

Ben and Jerry apparently want the United States to intervene in the Sudan.

Human rights groups estimate 15,000-30,000 civilians have been killed and more than one million people have been left homeless by the civil war in Sudan.

Oh well, too bad these high-fat dairy mongers don’t feel the same about the Hundreds of THOUSANDS of Iraqis that were tortured and killed by Saddam.
