Political Cortex, a new collaborative, progressive site opened yesterday. It’s operated on the Scoop platform and it aims to give a voice to all its members. If you sign up now, you can get your desired username. I got my first name. I should be able to remember that.

I don’t know how much I’ll contribute, but I read one of its writers, S.M. Dixon, on a regular basis and find his site an invaluable source of news and information, especially on busy days when there’s not much time to check everything out.

Anyway, welcome to blogtopia (yes, skippy coined that term), Political Cortex. And best of luck in your mission.
