I know that this may not be good form, but I am going to do it anyway.

Instead of cut and pasting whole diaries and cross posting diaries from blog friends at EENR, I will just give you a little taste. These are all well written, good diaries that need to be read.

First off, I cross posted a diary here for poligirl last night. If you missed it, check it out now.

Today poligirl has a new edition of Critter Watch

Critter Watch: FISA, Iran, and War Funding, Oh My!

Hey there all you folks out there on the EENR this Monday! This is the Critter Watch, and we do it because, of course, we all know that we have to keep a close eye on those Congress Critters of ours; you never know what they'll  vote for  sell  auction off  give away  next...

...

This week the focus will be three pieces of legislation: the War Funding bill, the FISA bill, and the "Sense of the Congress" Iran resolution.

Follow me below and bring tissues...

Inspired by the overwhelming Democratic win on November 7, I have decided to launch my own local progressive blog Space Coast Rising. While Florida made some great gains, it lagged behind the rest of the nation (for a purple state, at least). Florida will be pivotal in the 2008 elections. I hope Floridians will join me in providing new progressive media to a state sorely in need of it.

Below I have reproduced Space Coast Rising's first entry. Comments and critiques are welcome. I will probably cross-post more diaries over the next few weeks to promote the new blog.
