News: The Supreme Court agreed to hear the FCC's appeal of its indecency fines against several TV networks for expletives used spontaneously by Cher and Nicole Ritchie on awards shows, and by an actor on NYPD Blue. The Second Circuit held that the FCC had no authority to punish for "fleeting expletives," which included the F-word. Ars Technica has an excellent write-up of the legal issues in the case.
Analysis: I've been waiting for the Court to step into the fray because the FCC seems like it has gotten out of control. Too bad this appeal doesn't involve the FCC's fine against ABC for showing the naked butt of Charlotte Ross on NYPD Blue.
My picks – 1st – Arial 1, 2nd – Calibri1, 3rd. Palatino 1. This surprised me because I usually avoid Arial in favor of Verdana, but I really like the way it looks and reads here.
