Blocking Lefty Blogs, US Style.

When even the land of the free senate leaders start to block access to blogs, then you know bloggers are doing at least something right:

Mike Bishop Blocks 'Blogging for Michigan' from Senate Employees

Apparently bankrupting the state isn't all Michigan State Senate Republican Leader Mike Bishop wants to do. This time he's gone after one of Michigan's best lefty blogs, Blogging for Michigan.

After a post went up today on BFM about the wrong-doings one of Bishop's cronies, out-of-touch Senator Bruce Patterson (R-Canton), Mike Bishop's Chief of Staff Matt Miner, called Secretary of the Senate Carol Viventi and instructed her to block access to all blogs from the Senate offices.
