Congress closer to putting sock in loud ads

If anyone out there is worried that Congress is coasting until November, let it be known that our lawmakers are more than willing to tackle big issues. For example, both the Senate and the House have worked out bills requiring commercials not to exceed the volume of the programs they interrupt. Now, that's the sound of reform. This has been a long time coming, in all seriousness, because people have been complaining to the FCC about ad volume for 60 years, to no response.
