Mick (from two of my favorite blogs
Omnium and
From the Trenches) just turned me on to an important post that I had not seen before.

I started blogging out of frustration for the way that politics are being run and how the media is covering them (or, more accurately, not covering them). That post is the best single thing I have seen so far in articulating the problems and devising solutions.
