The WE Network rocks

Other than a brief glance at the O'Reilly Factor to make fun of Bill, I don't watch FOX News. Or MSNBC, for that matter. Not really CNN either, unless Something Important seems to be happening. But the FOOD Network; hoo boy.

I'd prefer my channels a la carte, as FCC chief Kevin Martin threw into the air of Washington some days ago. Some Cable People were like, "No, that'd be really expensive for the consumer, and then there'd be no audience for Oxygen, so basically, it's a terrible idea." Ha! Nonsense! Malarchy! My boy Rob Pegoraro, over at WaPo, has pointed all who subscribe to his lovely weekly newsletter to a Canadian company that offers, including helpful category packages. How nice.

The downside, obviously, is that people who only get 8 channels might not develop interests in what's on A & E or, gasp, Lifetime. And I admit that those terrible Sea Creature From The Deep movies on SciFi aren't really all that bad, once you get past their terribleness. Do you subscribe to SciFi just for these, or will you not miss them? Awkward.
