This here is the article I found while surfing the net at "work" today:
EFF:
A handful of bloggers have recently discovered that their labors of love may lead to unemployment. By some estimates, dozens of people have been fired for blogging, and the numbers are growing every day.
Reporting on Your Work for the Government:
If you work for the government, blogging about what's happening at the office is protected speech under the First Amendment. It's also in the public interest to know what's happening in your workplace, because citizens are paying you with their tax dollars. Obviously, do not post classified or confidential information.
So after reading this article it's pretty clear that not just me, but you the tax paying citizen of Arizona was screwed out of a fundamental right. [ Albeit one that most people, esp. the young of America, don't support]

But my tirade on our creeping fascism and silent totalitarianism will have to wait for another day.
