NYT: Michael Powell is expected to step down as FCC chair...but the next national nanny may be even stricter.

Powell has evolved -- devolved? -- on the job. "Once an unbridled libertarian who championed the abolition of restrictions and expressed little confidence in the government's ability to oversee the media, Mr. Powell, 41, has become an aggressive enforcer who has expanded restrictions on broadcasters."

We have standards at our house about what our kids are allowed to watch, what games they can play. Mrs. Cone and I set those standards, we don't need the government to do it for us. We are stricter than some parents, looser than others. The children and I do like to watch sports, and let me tell you that Janet Jackson's nipple was much less of a problem than explaining to my daughter what Cialis and Levitra do, and why all those old people are leering at each other in the commercials.
