There goes my plan to post nekkid girlie pictures

The government is going to start cruising the blogs looking for "information". We ordinary Americans see "information" gathering as something the FBI and CIA do to look for terrorists. But this is Ashcroft's America, so "information" is mostly going to be evidence that women are getting abortions and pictures of stuff that gives Ashcroft an erection.
Guess what other nation actively tracks blogs!

At least one nation, China, is actively tracking blogs. It's also reportedly trying to block blogs. Several press reports earlier this year said the government shut two blogging services and banned access to all Web logs by Chinese citizens.
