According to the Philadelphia City Paper, Philadelphia bloggers are being charged a $300 business license tax, regardless of whether or not their blogs are profitable.  This means even Philadelphia&#8217;s casual blogs [...]]]></description>

And some of them are just douchebags. Lately, I&#8217;ve come across so many people whose &#8220;marketing efforts&#8221; (if they can truly be categorized as such) are so [...]]]></description>
