I AM THE FORCE

Rumor has it that Republican legislators are following the lead of Marquette University and shutting down a few blogs. According to anonymous but brilliant sources, legislators have put at least a temporary end to a number of political blogs operated by state capitol staffers. Capitol Curmudgeon where are you? Apparently, some of the criticism of our fearless leaders was not going over all that well in some quarters, and the blogs became a major topic of debate in recent closed caucus deliberations. This should not be too surprising, as we should all know that people like Dale Schultz and John Murray are not very open to constructive criticism. What were you guys thinking when you let your bosses know about your blogging habit? You must know they are a sensitive and delicate bunch. You should have anticipated that they would eventually put you out of business or emasculate you entirely. My suggestion would be to open a new blog under a different name and try to retain some plausible deniability. Perhaps the right to anonymous political speech is rather important after all.
