BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population.

The American people seek a new leader at the Federal Communications Commission to take media and technology policy into the 21st century...

We believe the tenure of your term of office will be judged - and should be judged - by a simple test: Did the Federal Communications Commission take effective action to insure public safety access to the broadcast spectrum?
whether the court of appeals erred in holding that the Federal Communications Commission acted arbitrarily and capriciously (...) in determining that the most widely viewed broadcast public nudity in television history fell within the federal prohibitions on broadcast indecency
We hope the Supreme Court will recognize there are rare instances, particularly during live programming, when it may not be possible to block unfortunate fleeting material, despite best efforts ... Doing so would help to restore the policy of restrained indecency enforcement the FCC followed for decades.
This is a coarsening of manners that is produced by the shows. So I am not persuaded by the argument that people are more accustomed to hearing these words than they were in the past.
You do, indeed, but you don't have them presented as something that is normal in polite company, which is what happens when it comes out in television shows
