First of all, thanks for all of the support during January. It was by far the best month for the blog in terms of viewers and we had our first guest-written essay. I didn't quite hold up my half of the bargain in terms of number of essays, but I'm going to try to be better about that in the coming months.
This has been an exciting month and the start of what promises to be an exciting year. There will be elections in Egypt, Russia, France, Palestine, Timor-Leste, Mexico, Venezuela, South Korea, and of course the United States among many others before the year is out. As usual, the most dire situations will be in Dictatorships like Sudan, North Korea, and, most worryingly, Syria. But, with the Arab Spring still flowing and the 99% protests worldwide regaining speed as the weather warms, there should be plenty of hopeful news as well. There is only so much I can do and write here, so if there is something that anybody reading this wants to write about, please, please, please do so. I would love to post it here.
In the mean time, keep informed, keep reading, and stay Progressive.
