The October Surprise

As a side note, check out Sinclair's website with a listing of its stations. From a quick glance, I'm seeing a couple of random FOX and ABC affiliates, but a lot more of WB and UPN.
Maybe Sinclair's play to any FCC inquiry is not that the airing is either "political" or "news", but instead simply the opportunity to raise ratings for stations otherwise sentenced to air Celebrity Justice and Veronica Mars.

This whole thing is sorta interesting to watch. Kos is linking to a " go after the advertisers" campaign and he's listed every major institutional investor of Sinclair. I don't know what the impact will be, but certainly the left is mobilized to hit back and prevent this from airing. I imagine there have been a lot of calls to the FCC as well. Sinclair's stock is down a bit today.
And the Astros are up 2-0 at the end of the 2nd. This is good.
ETA: Incidently, I've heard good things about Veronica Mars
