Maryscott O'Connor, the most passionate progressive blogger around, has just launched a new site called My Left Wing. It's well worth checking out. Maryscott is famous for pairing no-holds-barred commentary with signature animations (see above).
Most of the writers you see over there are well known to readers of Frameshop and the DailyKos. But the community will grow fast. I plan to make it part of my daily routine.
Congratulations on your launch, Maryscott!
