More blog links

I held off a couple of weeks on this update, hoping that some kind of 11th hour reprieve would make it unnecessary. But apparently there's not going to be a stay:

The One True b!X has discontinued Portland Communique, the one-stop shopping site for the arcane details of local government workings available nowhere else. The blog is eulogized here and here.

So, with regrets, I'm removing it from the list of links. b!X, we hardly knew ye.

But blogging abhors a vacuum. So I'm adding these sites to the links:

Blog: TomPaine.com
Turf: "For people who want to keep in touch with the progressive community but don't have time to surf dozens of websites."
Recent post: "A Woman, At Least"

Site: Oregon Progressive Politics
Turf: A directory of progressive groups and information sources in Oregon. An offshoot of Irregular Times ("News Unfit to Print").
Headings: Progressive Organizations in Oregon, Mainstream News Sources (you'll have to see their sense of what counts as "mainstream"), Progressive Sources of News and Information from Oregon.
