Mark sues Ernie

I can't say that I'm not surprised when I read this headline.
The second issue, however, has significant national implications as it involves the unconstitutional efforts by government to discriminate against non-traditional media, like the blogs. In this case, the mainstream newspapers’ websites were not blocked, but non-traditional media like mine were. They did so with no standards or policy guidelines in place and implemented in a non-sensical and arbitrary manner.

This is fertile constitutional ground since the blogosphere is such a recent phenomenon, but the courts have already begun according blogs with media protections (as has the FEC) and historically are quite sensitive to targeting of non-traditional media, often comparing them to the early American pamphleteers.
Go get 'em, Mark.

In other news, it's time again for the midseason classic. I'm pulling for Ryan Howard of the Phillies.
