Nick (The World According to Nick host/creator of the Carnival of the Badger) brings the not-so-good news that anonymous annoying Web messages are now punishable by 2 years in Club Fed. Stupid, stupid, stupid, even though I haven’t had to break out the boomstick on any trolls.
That reminds me; how in the heck did I forget to put Nick on the blogroll? I can’t even claim RSS reader failure. Sorry about that, Nick.
Revisions/extensions – Nick points us back to the Volokh Conspiracy and Football Fans for Truth, which make a rather convincing case, pending legal challenges, that this rewrite of existing telephone anti-harrassment law was targeting only VOIP. Of course, I seem to recall a greasy assurance that the McShame-Slimeroad Lieberal Protection Act would be found un-Constitutional by the courts, only to find out that a majority on SCOTUS saw a previously-undiscovered exemption to the First Amendment for mentioning office-holders’ and -seekers’ names around election time without being a member of the LeftStream Media.
No apologies needed… but thanks for the link all the same. I know that some people get very anxious about appearing in blog rolls… but I don’t. They’re very personal to people… and so are totally at their whim and discretion (even though I joke about them).
You mean like Aaron (and to a lesser extent, me, though I did mean it when I first posted “Erratic is my middle name”)? Seriously, it’s a point of honor to include the blogs I tend to read and like, even if everybody that does make it to this dark corner of the Cheddarsphere already knows about everything on the blogroll. I should’ve had you up there long ago.
