In a new directive issued April 19th, the US Army is forbidding soldiers to post to blogs or send personal emails without first having the missives reviewed and OK'd by a superior officer, reports Wired magazine.

Since the much-anticipated and oft-prayed-for Rove indictment won't be making an appearance, it seems we'll have to deal with his shenanigans during the 2006 elections, after all.

In an unbelievable display of corporate greed, BellSouth lobbyists are pressuring the city of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana to shut down the city's WiFi network, established after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city and left most businesses and individuals without any means of communication.
