I don't know Tina Fey and I stopped watching SNL in the 80s when the
original cast left.  It just wasn't funny anymore.  However, why you
would think I'd care about satirizing Sarah Palin is beyond contempt.

Cablevision has pulled this several times in the past year with other
networks.  Each time they did, we heard the same one-sided argument.
This last time was really laughable -- Cablevision claimed that they
shouldn't have to pay NewsCorp because their channel 5 Fox affiliate
in NYC can be obtained over the airwaves with an antenna.  That's the
same argument I wrote in a letter in my $0.00 payment this month.  I
told CV that I don't have to pay them because I could get their same
programming with an antenna.  Of course, you have such a loathesome
contempt for _anything_ Fox, so I would expect you would not condemn 
Cablevisions's monopolistic arm twisting of its customers with their
program provider disputes.
