If you wanted to do something as simple as naming the local candidates in your district in your personal blog, you would HAVE to have a lawyer in order to take the multiple steps legally necessary to comply with federal campaign reform laws... Even if that means just having the lawyer explain all the laws related to campaign finance reform and which ones DON't apply to you.
In the current climate of Martha-Stewart type prosecutions where the object of the investigation is by definition not a crime and the outcome is indictments based on inconsistencies between dozens of people, of things they testified to months after occuring, with no notes or lawyers... Would you really like to piss off the beesnest that is the "other side" of politics without legal representation? This may not affect DailyKos or other large bloggers with legal resources, but considering that the DNC is currently able to get credit information about political opponents, god help the idiot who points out something about their candidate, however true, without having his own team of 3-4 lawyers and experts in this field of study.
I do know this much, if I did consult a lawyer with this rule not passed, his explaination would be a simple "pay me or don't blog or go to jail"
I spent 1 class period in all of High School even touching on Evolution...
I spent 4 drawing unit circles with chalk on the school sidewalk
I spent 5 enlarging cartoon images to learn more about grid coordinates
I spent 2 explaining to the Vice Principal that Smashing Pumpkins != Columbine
I spent 6+ in assemblies to work on "student self esteem"
I spent around 12 working on a kite for a math class
I corrected my math teachers about 10 times
I spent another 4 weeks learning how to use power-point to make a presentation that was about myself, I think that was a science course
I've learned that contrary to what my science teacher spent a unit on, effects similiar to wind-chill are a researched part of thermodynamics and are present on all warm bodies, not just humans alone
-Oh-
I spent an entire course in grade school dealing with "feelings" including handing out Warm Fuzzies
But that 15 minutes of that Evolution class might destroy my entire science education... Or could it be that as soon as people forget about that potential ID class they have to start wondering who is currently teaching science and what people are really taking with them out of their classes... Maybe we get the idea of schools as instituting social change through having all students graduate on the same plane with the same abilities as all others and start fingering our future scientists and giving them electronics/math/science courses that will create a science economy.

Boy, driving blind in the middle of a dessert... Or having 500 rounds of .50 cal tear through my car...
Decisions, decisions....
