Tim Chávez launches Political Salsa

The Nashville Scene let Music City know here that Tim Chávez has started his own blog - Political Salsa. The Scene reported last September (see here) that Chávez had been fired as a columnist of the Tennessean after his absence due to leukemia. At the time, Chávez said that "he regrets more than anything not having a farewell column to thank his readers for their good wishes."

Chávez tells the Hispanic Nashville Notebook that his goal for the new site is to "concentrate at least four to five days a week on political happenings nationally and locally for Hispanics."

Political Salsa joins a growing list of local Hispanic blogs including Bilingual in the Boonies, Coyote Chronicles, and Mario Ramos' Visa Blog.
