According to the Associated Press and CNN, many high school students think government censorship of newspapers may not be a bad thing, and flag burning is hardly protected free speech. The first amendment is at serious risk, people. We had best be conscious of what is going on and that it is no small coincidence in a parallel universe to the current employees of the White House. So in honor of today's story, I offer the following take off on a well known song, with apologies to Francis Scott Key. Please visit these websites for more information. www.aclu.org and www.au.org

Oh say can you blog, by the computer screen light
What so proudly we type all those words of great meaning
Whose broad fonts and bright colors, through the perilous viruses
O'er the comments we wrote were so gallantly streaming
And the bloggers great care, opinions bursting in air
Gave proof through the night FREEDOM OF SPEECH was still there
Oh say does that star studded blogger still write
O'er the land of the free, they'll be blogging tonight.
lyrics, c. 2005, LisaBeth Weber
