I'll be forced to watch ignorant republican morons from texas being interviewed 24x7 on CNN instead of learning about real news.

If you wanted real news, you wouldn't be watching CNN.

That said, here's the best and most complete commentary on the matter I've found.

That was an interesting link. I'll try to read it when I get a little more time.

You're right about CNN.  I am watching more and more BBC news lately.

Now when the governments have restarted again. What are the most obvious changes from before that you can notice? (Besides there being speed limits again)

The Republicans are this much closer to being officially a relic of the past.
