Editor's blog Congresspedia

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Congresspedia

<!-- start content -->

Welcome to Congresspedia, the "citizen's encyclopedia on Congress" that anyone can edit. Congresspedia is a collaborative project of the Center for Media and Democracy (http://www.prwatch.org) and the Sunlight Foundation (http://www.sunlightfoundation.com/) and is designed to shine more light on the workings of the U.S. Congress. Congresspedia is part of SourceWatch, a collaboratively-written, wiki-based website documenting the people, organizations and issues shaping the public agenda.

Congresspedia is designed to be a place where you can get a closer look at representatives in Congress and a better understanding of the environment in which they work. Because this site is a wiki, it’s open for anyone to edit or add new information, so you can share what you know with everyone else. To help insure fairness and accuracy, Congresspedia is overseen by a paid editor. (More about Congresspedia)

http://www.tomdispatch.com/index.mhtml?pid=78700EXCERPT:Tomdispatch: Tell me something about your daily life at the magazine. I'm sure you're understaffed, under-everythinged. But what's it like to spend a day as the Nation's editor and publisher, beginning to end? Katrina vanden Heuvel: I begin the day by reading from three to five papers. By then I'm already so agitated… [She laughs.] Anyway, I start with the Washington Post, then I do the New York Times, then parts of the Financial Times or the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, and the Guardian. Then I look at the Web. I'll read Tompaine, Commondreams, Romenesko, Tomdispatch, Juan Cole, Alternet, the Huffington Post, James Wolcott's blog, Jay Rosen's PressThink, sometimes Josh Marshall's Talking Points Memo or the Daily Kos. Just kind of absorbing as much as I can. Then the trick is to be an editor who's outraged by what's going on, but remains humane and sane as a watchdog.

Under the "Politics Free-for-all" there is a "sticky" called MMTF Link File, which has a fairly comprehensive list of "useful URLs of a liberal or progressive nature." MMTF Link File

I would also encourage getting to know bloggers in your state through DU's State Boards
Home » Discuss » State & Country Forums

DFA also has a good board,
Blog for America
and there are many local DFA groups you can join - missing are the states of

  1. Arkansas
  2. Kansas
  3. Louisiana
  4. North Carolina
  5. North Dakota

So start a group if you are in one of these states!

And, to keep up with Election Fraud and other related stories
The Brad Blog

NOTE: I would separate news site from message boards. If there's a place to add comments to a story it qualifies as a message board.

There are so many wonderful blogs and sites.  The list is incredible. 

I was wondering if it will be possible to have topical blogrolls associated with each series blog focus.  For example, when you go to the "Real Science" series page, the relevant energy, global warming, stem cell and other appropriate sites would be listed.  From the Troops and Vets page, the related vets sites such as those suggested by Testvet.  From the Faith and Politics page, links to sites like Interfaiith Alliance and Sojourners.  From the Economics page, appropriate key links.  And so forth. . .

Carol - I can pull them from here and set them up in a table/worksheet that can be used to group them  - if you think that would help.  Team members can review offline, and then the resulting lists can be posted for confirmation.

That post should be in a few days so be on the lookout for it and I/ we will try to prepare you for what's ahead and when and all the details, as they come available.  It won't hurt-- promise! Well, it might sting just a little...

with a list of bloglinks several pages long and as  result, just ignored them. Is there any way to limit the number of links or have them rotate so the number isn't quite so intimidating? I'm not so sure if it's possible to separate the wheat from the chaff, but I hope something can be done along those lines.

Why?

As far as the length of the blog roll goes, I don't know how long it will be. The final determination as to what goes on the roll or not will be made by WesPAC. We are just compiling the list of suggestions.

I do like the links per series page idea though.....That was a good one Carol.

General Wesley Clark on Science
Category: Updates

I must admit, I was starting to worry about this upcoming Yearly Kos science panel in Vegas. In the city that never sleeps, the event was scheduled for 8 am (!)--the one time, if ever, when people visiting Vegas probably do sleep. I had a suspicion that nobody would even attend.

Well, scratch that: We just learned that General Wesley Clark is actually going to be joining the panel. This is awesome in myriad ways, not the least of them being that Clark has become very outspoken about climate change...
