It's a very good blog. The layout and content is strong. I just wish it would show a little more independence - be willing to criticze anyone who screws up, regardless of political party.Paul K.

Thanks for taking the high road. You deserve the honors, and I hope to eventually see Paul Ogden's blog go national.

No one tops the original information you bring to the table.<BR/><BR/>I get disappointed with Frugal Hoosiers sometimes as it's not that objective. I like blogs that are willing to criticize both sides. I don't get that impression from FH. <BR/><BR/>Although he is sometimes too closely allgned with the powers that be in the city and will take an occasional crack at me, usually indirectly, I think Abdul does a better job of being more balanced in his approach on his blog, Indiana Barrister.Paul K.
