State representative Tim Couch wants to make posting anything on the Internet anonymously illegal. The bill would require anyone "contributing" to a website to register their real name, address and email address with that site. Websites would be fined $500 for each anonymous post. Couch wants to cut down on "online bullying." The ACLU will love that. Hey Timmy, in addition to trampling the First Amendment, we should just repeal all the others — except the Second, of course.

We don't read the Lexington, Kentucky, newspaper very often, because we were under the impression that neither the paper nor, frankly, the city offered much of interest to New Yorkers.
