Admittedly, there are times that even I think Republicans suck.

FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, addressing Congress, made the following statement:

"You can always turn the television off and, of course, block the channels you don't want," Martin said, "but why should you have to?"

Granted, he was discussing an a la carte option for choosing cable channels (as opposed to them being bundled), but this statement, viewed as a stand-alone, just frightens me.

Of course, I've discussed a similar situation previously.
