Welcome 2005

Wow, this blog is if not dead, is definitely on life support. December 14 being the last post and no comments either. The various contributors being busy with other things or figuring it was fun for a while but have more important things to do.

So postings will be slower this year then in 2004 and will have to be more then just links to news stories. That means we, the contributors, will have to spend more time to write stuff, since we all have day jobs and none of us are writers by profession (as if you couldn't tell). :-)

Anyway, its raining in So Cal again. Its great that we need the water, but it would be nice if it would stop for a week or so, so the ground could dry out and then the next storms rain would go into the ground instead of running to the sea. Yeah, this is small potatoes compared to the disaster that took place in Asia last week. If you want to donate money to help those who were hurt by the tsunami, I would recommend World Vision, but there are other organizations doing good work as well.

And finally, here are a few news stories that might be of interest.

The Toronto Sun compares the US government rapid response in getting people and material to those who need help compared to Canada's government response. The American Thinker has a poem written about the US response to natural disasters. Ok, both are pro American in bent, but that doesn't make the stories untrue.

The last article is from the American Thinker and it discusses how the EU can become a single state (nationalism) and how anti-Americanism is part of the equation.
