The speculation of the speculation begins

I wonder what will happen now that son of Mr. Leaks will be leaving the FCC? Of course, is anyone else struck by the coincidence? Dad leaves the state department and son then steps down as head of the FCC. I am sure that the two are not related at all. Yeah, right...

But take a happy imaginary trip with me for a moment. Let's say that Mr. Powell steps down and good ole chimpy nominates someone to replace him thinking that he will follow even further into the weird 1950s way-we-never-were mentality of Mr. Powell.

However chimpy is surprised when this new head of the FCC stands up for intelligence, truth, democracy, and artistic creativity. Yeah, this person stands up to the neocons and nut-wing!

This independent mystery head of the FCC even chastises the right for its single-minded and utterly stupid pursuit of curtailing freedom of speech in a democracy.

Then this person creates a platform for discussions about the state of art and misinformation dissemination in these times of republican ascendancy.

That opportunity for candid and meaningful conversation leads to efforts to reinvigorate national debate about the role of newspapers, television news, PBS, NPR, the unfair rightward lean of talk radio, and, of course, Fox "news" then becomes the target for a serious investigation of, what else? Bias.

The public begins calling for greater and more detailed investigation of how they have been repeatedly lied to by members of the "administration." Eventually after foot dragging and attempts at distraction (a few terror alert levels get raised) the end result are congressional hearings over the misuse of information by the Bush "administration" that leads us to war, the lying over the lack of equipment for the military, and Cheney's connections to distortions of process and information over no bid contracts to help his Haliburton buddies.

And these hearings lead to calls for impeachment amid mass firings and resignations from the administration.

Oh, ok... but a guy can dream, can't he?
