Teh Internets Bad, Bad Blog

Posted by Brendan Kiley on Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 1:50 PM

A certain mayor of a certain city has identified municipal enemy number one: bloggers.

In a speech, the mayor said:

over the last five years, the presence of a small group of suspicious, mean-spirited people focused on the negative has grown, endangering the city's vitality.

For a flash, I thought the story was about Slog.

Anyone who's afraid to serve because of mean comments isn't up to being in politics. If they think bloggers are bad, wait until they get attacked by their opposition.

You think this is bad - wait until the next for-profit sports team tries to rip off more taxpayer money for their next stadium "improvement".

We're talking tens of thousands of phone calls, emails, protestors showing up at every event.

Bloggers are the least of your problems.
