San Francisco Moves to Regulate Blogging!
H/T to Sibby for this one. I would LIKE to say that I couldn't imagine that something like this would be allowed to stand up to any rudimentary legal challenge - but given the state of the judiciary these days, especially the 'Frisco based 9th Circuit Jerk-it Court of Appeals Schlemiels, anything is possible.
Perhaps the Councilors moving toward this should check into the success the Canuckian government is having with blog regulation across the US border! Like, do they ACTUALLY think someone can't blog about San Francisco, from San Jose, or Oakland, or (via wi-fi) from a boat in the bay?
The only conclusion I can come to is that radio talker Michael Savage is correct: "Liberalism is a mental disorder."
UPDATE: Bill Quick on Daily Pundit reports that the threat here is somewhat exaggerated - but it still sounds like room for concern since the bill is apparently poorly drafted and subject to misunderstandings - to say nothing to opening the door to legal misinterpretation.
