sunday night (08 october 2006) chad over @ www.thedeadpelican.com brought us news about how the louisiana state heh heh heh ethics board had an agenda item "Docket No. 06-699 Consideration of a request for an advisory opinion concerning the regulation of web-blogs and blog sites and the placement of political campaign signs."
www.thedeadpelican.comwhile this development wasnt entirely surprising to us we decided to take a wait and see attitude and by monday word came out that the cause of concern for ethics board consideration was the
washington parish hard copy message board.
we know that wphcmb receives a lot of traffic because in the past when we have been linked from there we always receive a couple of hundred hit referrals. although we arent regulars to that site it seems that there is a councilman from bogalusa,
thomas d. kates who doesnt like the attention that he receives on the wphcmb. lol imagine that.
