In what just might be one of the most poorly written print articles ever, Investors Business Daily looks at intelligence agency plans to monitor blogs.
An actual quote from this journalistic atrocity**:

Some blogs are whimsical and deal with “soft” subjects. Others, though, are cutting edge in delivering information and opinion.

None of this is new. The government has been intercepting almost all communications for over 30 years through technology called Echelon. One look at our server logs revels lots of .gov and .mil addresses, obvs.

Two important issues here:
It is improper for the government to spy on Presidential candidates.
Blogstalking is the exclusive domain of your Uncle Grambo.

**Jason kindly translated this as:

Some blogs are Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince and some blogs are Wu-Tang.

They can have my keyboard when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.
