In the same way that I’m not all that worked up about Deep Throat, I’m also failing to catch the outrage at the FEC proposal fever. There are probably various reasons for this:

First, I’m kind of tired, and when I’m tired it’s hard to get me upset about anything other than traffic, rude pedestrians in parking lots, and people who stand too close to me in line at the bank.

Second, I’m not sure I understand the hubub. What I’ve seen--that paid political ads on Web sites have their sponsorship declared in the same way that TV ads have theirs declared--doesn’t bother me. I’m fairly sure that I’m missing something, though. Since I’ve only spent the smallest bit of attention to the proposal, that’s not terribly surprising. I plan to spend a portion of my day finding out why the ‘sphere is in such an uproar.

Third, I have a tendency to not pay attention to the rules and laws that I don’t like. I’m arrogantly stupid that way.

Anyway, having said that, I think that I will start my reading with The American Mind and Michelle Malkin.

Update: More.
