...to join the rest of The Spokesman-Review's blogs over on the revamped Web site, spokesman.com.

Spin Control (we're dropping the 2.0 because hardly anybody got it, anyway) will still feature fun videos, news updates, information on candidates, campaigns and elected officials. We'll have links to other select blogs (feel free to suggest some) and handy places for citizens to check up on their elected officials.

Trust us, it will be just as good in its new home. In fact, as soon as the author learns how to use the new software, it will be even better.

And if you can get us here, you can get us there.

Honest.

For those keeping track at home

Washington Votes, a Web site that offers information about the Legislature, legislators and legislation -- as well as news and comments -- has a rather telling set of figures.

There are three rolling counters. One for bills introduced, one for amendments introduced and one for new laws passed.

Tuesday's counts:
2,292 bills introduced.
251 amendments introduced.
0 new laws passed.

The question is: Is that last figure a good thing or a bad thing?
