Not content to let the artsy types be the only bloggers on their block, the Austin American-Statesman now also has a political blog called The Lasso. It's a one-person blog that appears to be mostly a news-roundup kind of thing. The good news: Daily archives, organized in a calendar format (one presumes there will be a link to previous months' archives; we'll see tomorrow). The bad news: Only one permalink per day, no categories or blogroll. If it weren't on a newspaper's site, I'd think it was hand-rolled HTML code.

Found via Byron. Hope had mentioned this in the comments to my earlier post, but I didn't go looking for it at the time.
