“Western Civilization hangs in the balance.” Under-reported news. The news that you don’t get. Atlas Shrugs is not about the “media Buddha’s issue of the day.”

Opening vlog from atlasshrugs2000 on June 24, 2007.

Admittedly the big issue (right now) for blogger Pamela Gellar? The Madrassah (an Islamic religious school). The public school Madrassah …

“They won’t let our valedictorians say ‘God’ in their speech. No God. No Christian. No Christmas. No Easter. No this. No that. But there’s actually a taxpayer-funded Madrassah in Brooklyn — KGIF, the Khalil Gibran International Academy — has been OK’d. It’s done. And why should you care about it? ‘I don’t have to care about it … it’s Brooklyn, Atlas. It doesn’t concern me.’ It does! It sets a precedent.”

… it’s going to be the individual that saves the day. It’s going to be the individual that takes back America. Because let’s be honest: It was the first country [United States] that was based on the individual — the greatest document in human history [referring to the U.S. Constitution].

A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. The Cardinal blog has a “sticky article” which is the introduction article to a column that always stays at the top of the column.

Many of the more interesting blogs provide political commentary or news on a particular subject or product. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), audio (podcasting) and are part of a wider network of social media. Blogs have become an important part of news and even offer worthy competition for “eyeballs” to traditional media, such as newspapers, television networks and radio stations. The “blogosphere” is the global and searchable entity of all blog articles in existence.
