Blogs and the Regulators:

On the one hand, FEC regulation of weblogs could have horrible consequences for freedom of speech. On the other hand, I really really like when the government regulates stuff.

If you read the comments thread, “Drew” goes even further: “Stoller is a member of the elite. The elite is under threat of regulation. And the elite is doing what it has always done to avoid regulation: it dons the mask of the common folk, falsely claims that the common folk will be subject to this regulation, and demands that the common folk oppose it!”

This is “campaign finance reform".
