As you may know by now, blogs will possibly face FEC regulations. If you want my opinion on that, I think…
POST CENSORED BY FEC
Hi, I’m your local FEC rep, and there has been a lot of fear of the FEC strong-arming blogs. To allay those fears, I have erased the misinformation this blogger was about to post and taken over his site. Frank J. is currently getting a personal education on the new rules about blogging. Also, I would like to say that he had many bruises from cudgel blows before he came here, and he is lying if he says otherwise.
As for all you, you can read this post to find the new rules. What we simply want from bloggers is disclosure. This adds to free speech, because, not only do you get the blogger’s normal free speech, but you also get mandatory speech about his funding you wouldn’t get otherwise. See? FEC regulation means even more speech!
Also, to help ensure blogs are not subversive agents using their political influence to get around campaign finance laws, we will recommend that this humor blog stick to topics that aren’t political. One example would be to have jokes like:
Q. Why did the chicken cross the road?
A. To get to the other side.
Now that’s funny and has no political implications – as long as no specific government funded road is mentioned.
Then again, the chicken could be symbolic of some political figure, something we, the FEC, will keep a shrewd eye for.
Come to think of it, the safest thing is to not post at all. This brings the least probability of FEC agents breaking into your house at night and murdering your family for breaking campaign finance laws.
It is the position of the FEC that free speech is a sacred thing, and, like most sacred things, it should be locked away somewhere secure and not worn out from use.
We now return Frank J. to blog within the guidelines given to him.
Uh, hey, it’s Frank J. again. I would just like to say how much IMAO loves and supports the FEC. Yay, FEC.
I’m going to go lie down now.
