Congressman Herger recently voted aye for an increase in fines to "curb indecency over the airwaves." Behold H.R. 3717 (aka the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act of 2004)! The Senate version raises the fine by a factor of ten (from $27,500 to $275,000). But the House would not be outdone and went straight to the nice round number of $500,000. Both passed and will be worked out in conference.
But of course a bump to the Federal Minimum Wage would hurt business...

Rather than raise fines for indecency maybe he should encourage more decent forms of art...oh wait, he consistently votes down art funding.
