San Francisco proposes the regulation of blogs
Just when you thought the Federal Election Commission had it out for the blogosphere, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors took it up a notch and announced yesterday that it will soon vote on a city ordinance that would require local bloggers to register with the city Ethics Commission and report all blog-related costs that exceed $1,000 in the aggregate.
Blogs that mention candidates for local office that receive more than 500 hits will be forced to pay a registration fee and will be subject to website traffic audits, according to Chad Jacobs, a San Francisco City Attorney.

Quick. Somebody send me the names of some local candidates so that I can "mention" them. I'm willing to be the test case.

If a comment is left
regarding a San Franciscan
politico, is that mention
included in the Blogs count. If I write "What
is Mayor Gavin Newsom up
to?", "Are rumors of Gavin
Newsom's divorce accurate?", is that 2 strikes against you?
Really, what is in the
water out there?
