CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan authorities plan to impose fines on
cable television companies that refuse to stop airing the animated
television series "Family Guy."
Justice Minister Tareck El Aissami says the program should be pulled
from the airwaves because it promotes the use of marijuana.
El Aissami was outraged by a recent episode in which the show's
characters started a campaign to legalize marijuana.
He said Thursday that cable networks that broadcast "Family Guy" would
be fined by Venezuela's telecommunications regulator if they refuse to
dump the program.
The government of President Hugo Chavez is preparing to impose new
regulations on cable television. Among other rules, cable providers
could be forced to carry Chavez's frequent speeches.

Timothy Joseph Russert, the father of the late Tim Russert
affectionately known as "Big Russ," has died at the age of 85, his
family announced Thursday evening.
Russert Sr. was the subject of his son's 2004 book, "Big Russ & Me:
Father and Son--Lessons of Life."
The Russert family released the following statement about Big Russ'
death:
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Timothy Joseph
Russert. While he was affectionately known to the world as "Big Russ,"
he carried no more important nor meaningful titles than those of
father, grandfather, great-grandfather, patriot and friend. He passed
peacefully with his family at his side from natural causes at the age
of 85.
We warmly thank all those who were inspired by his life and his
lessons.
In lieu of flowers please send donations to the Alzheimer's
Association so that the world may move closer to finding a cure for
this sad affliction.
We ask for privacy as funeral arrangements are pending.
Shortly before Tim Russert died in June 2008, Terry McAuliffe made an
awkward reference to Big Russ' death on "Meet the Press," telling
Russert that his father was "watching from heaven."
"Big Russ is in the Barcalounger still watching this," he replied.
"God bless him."
Watch this video feature on Tim Russert & Big Russ from "NBC Nightly
News" in 2007:

Show some respect to another world leader. What if foreigners had said
the same things about Obama? Wouldn't that hurt your feelings?
Don't understand why some liberals, especially out in Hollywood, seem
to like this guy. He shuts down all the press that is critical of
him, he insults foreign leaders from the podium of the UN General
Assembly, and here he is forbidding a channel to show a program that
advocates for marijuana legislation. Not a cool dude at all.

Chavez for some reason, will say to this, considering the Family Guy

Why would you expect a South American nation to be greatly concerned
by "free speech" issues? Particularly when the United States would
have done the same thing 40 years ago. |
