With the mayoral campaign now history, I felt motivated to clean out some dead links and reorganize the lineup on the left-hand side of the page. It was long overdue and I think it makes more sense, but you can be the judge. I added a few new link groupings, including a category for local politics aficionados. There's also now a cluster called LAT Watchers so that those with the hankering can easily keep up with the Hewitts, Pattericos, Reiches and Westwaters. To help readers, I also broke out the blogs that mostly politick for left and right, the food websites and the sports sites. The biggest difference is that all the links should now be current, and I think they are ordered more logically. If something feels off, or you want to suggest a link, drop me a line.

May's visitor numbers are running way ahead of any previous month. Just for kicks, here are the most linked-to posts so far in May, in order of highest traffic:
