Have you been worried about the upcoming Digital Television transition scheduled for February? Are you even more concerned that those eggheads over at the FCC didn't produce enough useless videos to help you understand what it's all about?

Well have no fear, Joe the Plumber has put together a series of videos that will both explain what DTV is all about, and prove that he can read.

Most interestingly, though, Joe seems to have reevaluated his feelings on socialism. Not even a minute into the video and he's already promising to help us get a handout from the government.
I will tell you where and how to apply for two free $40 coupons from the government, that will help offset the costs of purchasing two converter boxes.
He goes on to imply that learning about DTV is your patriotic duty:
The DTV transition effects the public safety of the United States. So it is imperative that all Americans come together and learn all we can about the DTV transition.
The site promises that in the next video, Joe the Plumber will show us how to set up a DTV converter box. This should keep me sated until the next season of 24 starts in earnest.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
