A union of bloggers, and a law or two to go with it
August 07, 2007
A Bloggers' Labour Union scrambling for medical benefits to safeguard against the health hazards successful bloggers expose themselves to. And a law to shield (only those) bloggers who allow ads on their blogs against revealing confidential sources. Jesus. What has the world come to.

Bloggers of this world unite! We are all rent seekers, I guess, and it will never change as there is some government body to seek rent from.

Indeed, Lene.
Parminder: Interesting development, but I don't particularly like people leaving press releases in my comment field, so I've edited down your post considerably.
If there's a development you think might interest me, email me the press release or drop me a quick line actually commenting on a post that is relevant to this development. Hint: this blog has a section called 'citizen journalism'...
