The FBI and the TV Studios.

When it comes to hokie TV, 2 of the best hokie shoes are Bones on Fox and Numb3rs on CBS. Both of them portray the FBI as the defenders of the public with a few little imperfections.

This past week some serious charges have surfaced against the FBI concerning abuse of The Patriot Act on both Fox News and CBS News.

I think every American citizen now kinda wishes they were not so quick to jump on the anti-freedom bus that rolled through town in the last part of 2001. Some of us are waking up to the reality of what we allowed the Bush Administration to steal away from us (besides any world respect or future financial security). I doubt if we will ever get any of it back.

But, back to the TV shows. I like watching these 2 show for the same reason, they try WAAAY to hard to be serious. Granted, they both try to incorporate a touch of humor here and there, and are often successful in that manner, but with their convoluted scripts and their herky-jerky acting, they turn out to be the funniest stuff on the tube.

So what I want to know is whether or not Bones and Numb3rs are needed by these media giants to keep the FCC from leaning on them too much in these days of revived censorship with shows that push the envelope just a little. Or perhaps these shows are kinda like PSAs for the FBI produced by the Republican Corporations to say, "See, ya was all worried for nothing, America, the FBI would never do anything to an average American citizen without the full due process of the US Constitution."

Or is that that these goody-2-shoes programs are just accidental TV fare meant to soothe the fears of the TV addicts? Somebody please answer me, before the FBI starts to ask for my bank records, internet use record, phone records, and library records, without a warrant, or any recourse of action for me.

I wonder if they will come and confiscate my vinyl records?
