With every single dictatorial edict he signs, he holds it up for everyone to see, like he's so proud he can write his own name.

What a tool.

Penny wise and pound foolish, as the saying goes. The money "saved" by driving a stake into the heart of public broadcasting doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

This shit must stop.
