Just when you thought the Federal Election Commission had it out for the blogosphere, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors took it up a notch and announced yesterday that it will soon vote on a city ordinance that would require local bloggers to register with the city Ethics Commission and report all blog-related costs that exceed $1,000 in the aggregate.

This is ridiculous and unenforceable. Not only will they be required to register, but if blogs in San Francisco mention candidates for local office and receive more than 500 hits they will be forced to pay a registration fee and will be subject to website traffic audits.

Thanks Blogtyme for the heads up.
