Austin Chronicle Hypes Capitol Blogs
By Phillip Martin
The Austin Chronicle has a new story in tomorrow's edition about "The Blog Days of Summer." Click on the link to read.
Our part is below though the Chronicle gets snarky with snarksters PinkDome and In the Pink Texas as well. And it's nice to see some of the newer groups including the Texas Kos group get recognized. Kudos to Naked Politics! -KT
Founded by UT Democrats, Burnt Orange Report is the biggest of the Central Texas lefty weblogs, linked to by heavy hitters like DailyKos.com. Largely covering state and municipal politics, BOR also lends local perspective to bigger-picture issues. Although sometimes victim to the common inclination to ubiquitously mention events covered elsewhere in more depth, like national and world news, the professionalism with which BOR conducts itself is a rarity. A thoroughly comprehensive set of links, not only to like-minded bloggers, but to a gaggle of news sources and Republican adversaries as well, rounds out the site.

Now if only we can follow that up with a Best of Austin award for a second year in a row, but that's in the hands of Austin voters. Though I've loved the Chronicle long before that happened last year. I take the philosphy that I was told for certain awards in Boy Scouts. You shouldn't work towards an award, you should just do a good job and if you earn it along the way, then you deserve it.
