The digital delay won't die
We thought Republicans had managed to kill the delay to the transition to digital television, it turns out they probably only delayed the delay. The first vote was an expedited measure that required a two-thirds majority. Democrats now say they'll come back next week to try again under normal procedural rules that will allow a bare majority to implement the four-month delay in turning off analog signals.
In an editorial scheduled for Monday, we'll advise Democrats to reconsider.

I propose we stimulate the economy by making all the old tv sets useless on schedule.
