A couple of new blogs, or at least new to me, that I've run across recently and are worth checking out:

Mid-coast views, written by Michael Rosen, Milwaukee Area Technical College economics professor, union president, and longtime progressive activist. Rosen promises "commentary on issues concerning Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the nation. (and sometimes wine & restaurant recommendations)."

Illusory Tenant, written by a nameless Milwaukee lawyer (or at least someone who says his/her profession is law.) Its topics are law, media, politics, and culture. What, no religion?

Both have a decidely leftward political lean.

As Chairman Mao said, "Let a thousand blogs bloom."

Or something like that.
