A potential $30 billion dollar secret -- cause if you are going to keep a secret, it should be a big one -- has some U.S. Senate folks dismayed. They're not in on it.

You now have the opportunity to help General Electric, parent company of NBC, reap some advertising dollars and, at the same, time, expose your deepest darkest audiences for first a web audience and -- hopefully(?) -- a national, perhaps international audience. Goodie!
