The definitive LDS blog of political thought, news and commentary has launched as the Council of Fifty*, located at counciloffifty.com. There is an eclectic array of permabloggers representing a wide and varied spectrum of political thought. Drop by, check it out, and partake in the political baptism by fire. Church and State will never be the same. * Richard Bushman described the Original Council of Fifty:
Between March 10 and March 13, 1844, Joseph Smith formed the Council of Fifty, mostly drawn from the established Church elite but also including a handful of non-Mormons. The council was conceived as an initial step toward government for the Kingdom of God.

I’m excited about it. I think it is a great idea. It will free up the other blogs of political talk.

Dan, you must be kidding. If you would refrain from posting on some of the other blogs they would be free of political talk.
I know you don’t always post political comments, but you are a repeat offender.

cantiflas,
Very true. I admit to my offense. Still having one place for politics will make the rest of the main blogs be free to discuss other matters.
