The Sheer Idiocy of San Francisco

What happens when legislators have too much time on their hands? Well, usually nothing...but in this case, as Daily Pundit points out, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors 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.

Thanks Mssrs. McCain and Feingold for your infinite wisdom when you passed your "campaign finance" regulations.
