Exclusives
I will soon be launching three on-going series on the blog, each with a specific purpose.
"BLOGATELLE" -- This series will be a news roundup of what newspapers around the world are headlining that day or week. (Title inspired by Pastor_Jeff)
"MSM MIRAGE" -- Tired of mainstream media's distortions, prevarications, and dissimulations? Me two. Then let's do something about it. Don't kill the messenger, but let's kill the messages. This will be my contribution to keeping an eye on MSM's more egregious news spins.
"5 AMERICANS YOU SHOULD KNOW" -- America is a young country, but it already has a rich history. And my forté is history. I will try to make your country's lesser known history and personalities come alive for you, through a foreigner's admiring perspective.

Wow, I am really looking forward to this! You are making an incredible commitment here!
Yah. :)
I will even be giving you a special email address, which you can then email tips (news around the world, etc.) to!
My Yahoo inbox email is flooded with over 5,000 emails. *sigh*
Spam spam spam!
Cheers,
Victoria

A special email address; now I am really excited! A couple of the 5000 messages in your Yahoo are from me!
Felicidades, eres una brava!
Ay, Jose. Que pena. :(
Gracias por la paciencia que me enseñas! Espero que un dia lo merecere...
Tu amiga,
Victoria

Thank you, I'm really looking forward to all of them but particularly the History.
I will do 5 women first, I think. I am so looking forward to that debut post. :)
Will you also be detailing some Americans less admirable? If there are any.
Hehe, that was funny.
Anyway, the villains of every country are the ones who are the most interesting, don't you find?
J. Edgar Hoover is a laugh-a-minute. Now.
Cheers,

Victoria,
Thanks for the nod. The posts sound intersting, especially history, one of my all-time favorite subjects.
If you'd like to share an overlooked Englishman we benighted Yanks ought to know better, may I suggest Chesterton?
And if may share one of my favorite quotes of his, somewhat appropos of your history thread?
"Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around." - Orthodoxy
