Finally, the satellite radio merger is approved by Dept. of Justice. It's been like 16 months in the works. Now, we wait for FCC approval. It's aggrevating that a merger like this that only gives consumers more choices took so long. I love my Sirius radio and can't wait for more programming like MLB(when I'm not near a tv). I still find myself channel surfing with 130 choices of channels so a few more choices could only be good. Maybe I should not be too optimistic based on my tv habits. We have about 800 channels and 'there's nothing on'. I love my Sirius Grateful Dead, JamOn, Howard Stern, comedy and a bunch of rock channels. Please add more variety and get on with it!

We bought 3 tickets for the $200 Million Powerball drawing last night. Bad news is that I didn't match even one number out of the 3 tickets. Good news is that there was no winner. Try again Wednesday. Always look for the silver lining. :)
