The transition to digital television has been in process for over a decade, with an absolute cutoff date of 2/17/09 for almost 5 years, yet as we finally approach the deadline, we have another extension -- because people didn't bother to get ready with 5 years prior warning.

Yep, a mandate for electric cars is gonna work just peachy-keen!!!
