Telling jokes
Often you can tell a lot by what somebody thinks is funny. As John Eggerton recounts [and continues] in Broadcasting & Cable, Chairman Martin's jokes at the FCC Bar's April 9 dinner told themselves. For example, when it's telcos versus cablecos, Martin's all telco. But Martin denied it, saying,

Don't miss Kommissar Martin's "Seven Ways the FCC is not like the KGB." (For example, 5. The KGB *can* monitor the NSA's activities.) [link]
Kevin, just between you and me, a little friendly advice: Too funny! Take it on the road. You're a natural born stand-up. On par with Bill Maher. Colbert beware. Really, Kevin, don't waste another minute at the Commission. The comedy circuit calls!!!
I just set up a private meeting of cable industry leaders with a very senior White House official. The hunting trip with the vice president is all arranged.Then Martin joked about the new FCC answering machine.
Hi, you've reached the FCC. If this is AT&T, please press one for our merger approval hotline. If you're calling from a Vonage phone, please hang up and dial from a Verizon phone. If this is the cable industry and you're calling about a waiver, your call is very important to us [extended pause] goodbye.
Then Martin told one about Commissioner McDowell's son playing with his, but
At first it was unclear whether he wanted to play or not.He concluded by saying the night had been
about as enjoyable as appearing before a congressional committee.
