It's been a while since I updated the blogroll over on Wampum's sidebar, so I want to draw attention to the newest additions:
Colorado Luis
Luz Paz
The KevStar Pavilion
Open Source Politics
All Facts and Opinions
Corrente
Also, as many of you know, my friend and mentor, Dwight Meredith of Politics, Law and Autism, is closing up shop. I can't express how this saddens me, as PLA was the only blog to occupy a permanent spot on my browser's favorites toolbar. PLA was in fact the first political blog I ever read (I was Googling for autism-centric blogs and had the good fortune to come across one written by a warm, funny liberal as well.)
Within days of my beginning this site (which was initially entitled Wampumblog, as a play off "wampumpeag", the Algonquin name for wampum, but is now just Wampum), Dwight emailed me after I posted a comment at PLA. Then came the Eli Lilly/Homeland Security fiasco, and with his unwavering support, I was off and running. But even when times got tough, due to the politics within or outside of the blogosphere, Dwight was a source of support and inspiration. And while I understand his need and desire to widen his horizons, I can't imagine a web without PLA.
Dwight is currently developing an index for his posts at PLA, and so for as long as Wampum exists, PLA will remain on the sidebar.
Thank you Dwight (and Deb) and I hope we all are blessed by seeing your work again soon.
