Key takeaway from the legal session:
If a commenter says something bad on your blog, you are not legally responsible for it. However if you receive a court order demanding the IP information about that commenter, you have to provide that info to the authorities.
Seems reasonable to me, so note to [...]

Notice for Webb and Warner
We filled the back room of Shoney's and then some. 
The SWAC Conservative Round TableHow cool. Vivian Paige just showed me the way to posting to wordpress from my blackberry. Hope it works. If it does next step is a photo.
First discussion of the day is “blogging ethics” so needless to say I’m basically on recess time. But overall it seems like it [...]
Oh wait, this is Washington, they don’t call it bribery, they call it “leverage”:
Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) said Friday night that she’s “leaning towards” voting to start debate on the health care bill – which would leave Democrats just a single vote shy of clearing a critical test for [...]
As he stood atop the Great Wall, amiring its "majesty":

Shock this morning reading Concrete Bob's post at United Conservatives of Virginia. In his light-hearted way and after quoting W.C. Fields, he wrote:In a word, wow:
Senator John McCain’s future in the U.S. Senate may be a little less assured than previously thought.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely 2010 Republican Primary voters in Arizona finds the longtime incumbent in a virtual tie with potential challenger J.D. Hayworth. McCain earns 45% [...]
It’s been noted before that there’s very little about the Pledge of Allegiance that is compatible with the values of individual liberty that the United States was founded on:
