Thanks Dave-

It was a wild week and the events surrounding myself and Culberson allowed me to, among other things, understand that what we're doing with blogging is not filling dead space.

Appreciate the mention and the solid write up.

Many missing the real issue

Any discussion about which platforms are acceptable for MoC communications and which aren't shouldn't be the issue. As long as that's what's being discussed, speech loses. This shouldn't be a "franking" issue. I'm not sure what taxpayer resources are being used to sent a message on Twitter. MoCs should be trusted to use communications technology as they wish, and they assume the risks involved if they mess up. Citizens should be trusted to be able to distinguish ads from content. These regulations treat MoCs and citizens like children, with the Rules Committee as the overprotective parent. Not to mention that MoCs don't forfeit their first amendment rights when physically on Capitol grounds.

digg and ron paul

As follow up, the story I wrote about Ron Paul was submitted to Digg. It attracted around 30 diggs in a few hours, but was then buried as lame, presumably by Paul supporters. Paul supporters really are behaving as a bit of a mob over there.
