James Carville and the Democratic Senate campaign (oh, yeah, there are other people running for office) send out spam mail asking for suggestions for the perfect bumper sticker.

Here is my question for the YouTube/CNN Democrats’ debate on U.S. broadband internet strategy:
I say I’m worried about the digital divide — between America and the world. The U.S. has fallen to 25th place in broadband penetration worldwide. Our broadband access costs, on average, 12 times more than Japan’s and 7 times more than South Koreas, yet Japan’s is 12 times faster than ours and Korea’s 9.5 times faster. So I ask the candidates: Will you pledge today to assure all Americans affordable — open — high-speed internet access and how will you do it? This is a necessity for our economy, education, culture, and future.

Here’s Ailes’s stand-up routine:
