I'm pleased to unveil Sound Politics, a new group blog dedicated to local issues in the Puget Sound region (Seattle and outlying areas) and Washington State.
The founding co-conspirators include bloggers Andy MacDonald, Matt Rosenberg, Brian Crouch and also Ron Hebron and Hank Bradley, who are frequent readers and commenters of the Shark Blog. Other contributors will be joining the group soon.
Look to Sound Politics for sound commentary on the region's government and media: The state legislature, Ron Sims and the King County Council, [un]Sound Transit, the Seattle Monorail, the state's congressional delegation, "It's in the P-I" and more!
My contributions will include both cross-posts from the Shark Blog and some original content.
One of Sound Politics' first big projects will be to serve as the nexus for the opposition to Seattle's Families and Education Levy, which will be on the September ballot. Andy MacDonald and I helped write the official opposition statement for the voters' guide and we'll be posting a lot of information about the levy over at Sound Politics between now and the election.

Posted by: Jake of 8bitjoystick.com on August 2, 2004 05:51 PMI know it's likely too late for a name change, but Unsound Politics would be a natural for what often passes as "Enlightened" policies in the politically retarded northwest. One only has to think of Baghdad Jim or the dim bulb in tennis shoes for inspiration.
