I'm focused on politics at the moment, blogging at http://www.electionobsession.com. Posts are more intermittent than would seem right for an obsessive (which I am -- just ask Liz). But they're far more frequent than my posts here.

This entire campaign season, I've been so caught up with the Democrats, I never realized how awful a speaker John McCain really is.

Greetings readers, please clear the cobwebs off your ElectricOrange bookmarks, because I'm here to announce the soft launch of the newest MessyMedia's new website about London, Glitterditch.
Glitterditch is written by the always talented (and occasionally sober) Sian Meades, formerly of londonist, and the newest exciting addition to MessyMedia's stable of talent.
Covering the ins and outs of London's seamy underbelly, Glitterditch will bring you London as you've always imagined it, dark and sleazy, full of engaging personalities from the A-list to the Z-list.
We invite you to give it a try and drop a line to let us know what you think. And remember... there's no 'b' in Glitterditch.
There's blood on the dagger, and in a coup Westmonster beat the BBC to reporting Ming Campbell's resignation. We followed the breaking news with an evening's worth of Ming-related posts in the Westmonster spirit.
Westmonster's been going nearly a month now, and while it still has a way to go before it gets where it needs to be, the progress has been encouraging. If you haven't had a look yet, please do. And those of you looking in from overseas, if you were in the UK, you'd be seeing ads.
Well, look at me. 2 posts in 2 weeks. I must be on a roll.
Today's post follows on from the previous one, because now that we've got a company... well it would only make sense if the company had a product.
The product came out today, and it's called Westmonster.
Westmonster is a website edited by Sadie Smith, and it focuses on the ins and outs of British politics, politicians, and political coverage.
Here at Westmonster we believe political life's too important to be taken seriously (as someone famous once said). We plan to give you a slightly sideways look at what's going on in the corridors of power and how our brethren in the meedja are reporting it. With the marketplace already crammed full of online news sites, blogging grandads, collectives of comrades, ascendant right-wing blogs, and outright tinfoil hattery in some cases - well, we figured we couldn't knacker the discourse any further. Right? Right?
In short, Westmonster aims to bring you what's going on in Westminster, from the insane to the mundane.
Go on over, have a look, and let us know what you think.
