Swamp Thing

I've added 'The Swamp' to the list of blogs on the right of this page. It is a new blog started by the Tribune's D.C. office focusing on, well, D.C. stuff.

Newspaper spin-off blogs are always interesting endeavors because they test just how much editorial freedom the writers will get in a quasi-independent format. Eric Zorn has done a great job with his blog, in large part because he appears to have been given a lot of leeway. It will be interesting to see just how much room the Swamp folks are given by the powers that be, or if there will be any slant to their posts. I guess we'll find out.
