PSoTD

Going back to my earlier post...

The following states had two Democratic Party Senators that voted for closure yesterday:

Arkansas (2)
Hawaii (2)
North Dakota (2)
West Virginia (2)

I'm looking for some good, regularly updated liberal blogs from those states to keep on my blogroll. The theory is that liberal bloggers need to promote at least one voice and an eye for each state. Using leftyblogs, and a subjective standard that the blogger had to have posted about the cloture vote (regardless of viewpoint on the issue) as a timeliness/issue standard, I've come up with the following so far:

Arkansas - none

Hawaii -
The Online Magazine Known as Rob's Blog
Linkmeister

North Dakota -
The Flickertail Journal
Holding North Dakota's Breath Until It Turns Blue

West Virginia - none

Please peruse. And feel free to suggest blogs to review. This is in no way comprehensive at this point.

I just noticed we've been added to a couple of blogrolls, so time to roll out the grand thank yous to...

Merlot Democrats

Geeky Mom

Much appreciated!

I was looking through the Koufax Award nominees and I want to say I really like Beautiful Horizons. Randy Paul has an interest close to my heart - Brasil, the land, the people, the culture, the music. It's probably a little closer to his heart, since his wife is Brasilian as well. I have to admit I'm a little jealous, I haven't been to Brazil since 1990 and it looks like Randy's been there several times since then. I'm waiting for our kids to be a little older, and then I want to take them to the Pantanal...

Take a look. I really like the feeling of this blog... and I think I'm going to like some of the music recommendations as well.

Dear Bloglines,

You know what would be cool? If there were an easy way to import a list of present blog feeds into my myblogs account. If you did this, then blog award sites could offer that list as an advantage of being nominated for an award - for example, the Most Deserving of Wider Recognition category of the Koufax awards.

Please consider it. I think it would be a valuable service addition to Bloglines.

If you believe that the bloggers posted as nominees for the Most Deserving of Wider Recognition actually deserve wider recognition - then why not put them on your blogroll?

What, you haven't seen it already?

I have to say, this is a damn tough category this year. Lots and lots of quality.

I noticed a couple of new blogrolls of PSoTD this week, and it's time to say thanks to...

Last Left Turn Before Hooterville

100 monkeys typing.

Thanks!

Word on the street is that the posts are about to start going up.

I didn't realize that this blogger was blogrolling my old blog address, which automatically transfers to this location. I guess I ought to say thanks!

ScaramoucheBlog

Thanks!

I'm starting to see these panels a lot more...

I see you here sometimes. How about blogrolling PSoTD?

Peter Daou lays it out accurately. Fight the depression.

Say goodbye to I Am Dr. Laura's Worst Nightmare. Apparently the author has now achieved a State of Grace! (Good choice, Grace)

Gary Rhine, who ran Rhino's Blog, passed away in an airplane crash earlier this week. Details at his blog.

Time to thank some more fine blogs for adding PSoTD to their blogroll. Much, much, much appreciated!

The Girl Gets Away

Cutting to the Chase

Mister Anchovy

Michael is putting Bread and Roses on hiatus. It's a shame, but understandable. Best of luck to him and his writing career.

DailyKos

Eschaton

November, and particularly December, seem to be reduced traffic months for most political blogs. Which makes the performance of Firedoglake that much more impressive...

I recognize that Jane, Reddhead and Loren don't have the same level of traffic numbers as Kos and Atrios, but still, that is quite a spike.

Just wanted to post my thanks to the following blogs that have added PSoTD to their blogrolls recently...

Keystone Politics

Radical Hapa

Edicts of Nancy

Much thanks!
