In God and the Red Cross they trust


It is a disgrace that Tony Blair has still not issued a communication to the disaster victims in the southern States of the US that have been devastated by 'Hurricane Katrina'.

Mark Steyn and Instapundit are mounting a "blogburst" to galvanise support for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
.
Islamic extremists, meanwhile, are rejoicing in America's misfortune, giving the storm a military rank and declaring on Internet chat rooms that "Private" Katrina had joined the global jihad. With "God's help," they declared, oil prices would hit $100 a barrel this year.
Expressions of solidarity with our American cousins, particularly those in New Orleans would not go amiss.
.
The UK Government is indeed very remiss in not offering financial aid to the American Red Cross who have an excellent record in the swift delivery of humanitarian aid.
.
The people of the United States have been special best friends to Her Majesty's Subjects on this side of the Atlantic.
.
Bearing in mind the billions of pounds that HMG wastes every year - mostly owing to our membership of the European Union - a swift donation of £ 20 million would be an meaningful gesture.
.
Shame on Blair. In God and the Red Cross many thousands of poor rural US citizens will have to trust.
.
The American Red Cross is accepting donations and the blog site 'Instapundit' is listing alternative charities.

What does Kennedy pay for gas?
Up-starts, up-smarts and other cranks & dilettantes adorn a media scene once renown for excellence, so this journal will attempt to point out the more obvious foibles of the local press to our gentle readers ...

Lord of the Flies - A Weblog from Downtown New Orleans
I've been following an incredible blog written by The Interdictor, part of a team keeping a ... Anyway, these people have done heroic public service, and I recommend them to everyone: NOLA.com (http://www.nola.com/) , the on-line presence of the Times-Picayune.
Nice to see some decent content for a change. FYI, I log on today and see that we've got a new feature, the 'Flag blog' button, which is inconveniently located between the 'Get Your Own Blog' and 'Next Blog' buttons so that we would presumably be getting some flags on error alone (although if one happens to notice it, you can unflag a blog) But that's a trivial matter. What concerns me is this: When a person visiting a blog clicks the "Flag?" button in the Blogger Navbar, it means they believe the content of the blog may be potentially offensive or illegal. We track the number of times a blog has been flagged as objectionable and use this information to determine what action is needed. This feature allows the blogging community as a whole to identify content they deem objectionable. Ok, see the problem with this? What's "objectionable." I'm guessing there are a good deal of people that would likely deem my blog to be objectionable; and there lies the problem: what is objectionable and what is subjective. Just my 2 cents, Sew on Patches
