Ack, clicking that link to Boston Water Cooler was like a surprise trip to Awfulbloggingville. This may not be the most pressing issue of the day, but perhaps Bostonist should link to sites that suggest some sort of effort on part of the writer at information-gathering, or at least a basic grasp of how free speech works. (Hint: not all speech is protected. OMG!)
