The usually serene Little Miss Attila seems a bit shupoofed about the proposal to have the Blogosphere regulated by the alert, competent and efficient folks at the FTC. This is reasonable as she blogs regularly and is trying to make a living at it, we at PODM have a different view and look forward to being edited by the same folks that write those griping government publications overseen by the lawyers at the FTC. This is sound allocation of resources by an agency that was able to track down Bernie Madoff after mere years of being told about his operation by a succession of snitches and handled ENRON so well.
Who hasn't stayed up all night with some government page turner like Social Networking Sites: Safety Tips for Tweens and Teens , How To Protect Kids' Privacy Online: A Guide For Teachers or the ever popular quarterly Litigation Status Report . I'm sure they will improve the quality of discourse on the web especially at PODM where we are only doing this because its part of the terms of our parole.
This regulation is desperately needed to prevent the tens of dollars consumers spend on the blogs they read from being siphoned off by unscrupulous sites. Remember free speech is a right only if no one is willing to pay for it.

Our Founder
Fevered speculations by an inhabitant of an alternate dystopia haunted in his night terrors by the specter of a hairless Belgian woman playing the clarinet, badly. Also entertaining observations and comments on current events as well as erudite fiction for those unimpressed with the opinions of Oswald Spengler.

About Me
- Dutch
- Down the road, About an hours drive
- I was raised by well meaning but impoverished circus people until I was kidnapped by a pack of lawyers. I get all the moisture I need from the seeds and nuts I collect. I am a strict Fungarian and eat only non flowering plants. I was expelled from France. I lead a life of noisy desperation. If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, lock it in your trunk for a few hours and see if its still glad to see you when you let it out. favorite quote: "Every time I hear the word culture I reach for my pistol."

FTCing you in all the familiar places.
Like the Federal Document Center in D.C., where you can buy the 1987 Farm Subsides Report, all 2200 pages, for under thirty-five dollars.
Of course the Feds will handle health care with the same sensitive, thoughtful approach they brought to the War on Drugs.
Victory over health!
