I’m catching up to this a bit late, but as I learned from CathColl.net:
“More than a thousand bloggers throughout the world have declared this weekend ‘Blogging for Katrina Aid’ weekend.”
Please go to The Truth Laid Bear to log your contribution. (Need I say, if you haven’t made one yet , get off your butt and give according to your ability, and encourage others to do the same.) See also continuing coverage by Instapundit. May this unparalleled disaster that laid bare our government’s ineptitude also expose how much we can do on our own, for each other, without the government.
And may those who initially perceived racial intolerance — and worse — in the slow reaction to the plight of some of our neediest citizens of color be heartened by the love and care shown by Americans of all colors, from all parts of the country.
[UPDATE: 9:30 PM Eastern. The million dollar mark has been crossed, thanks to the generosity of all the bloggers and their readers who participated.
Of course it's still not to late to give! And remember, this need will continue for months, if not years. Continue to investigate how you can give of your time and money in your community or otherwise. If you live in an urban area, especially in the South or Midwest, chances are refugees are already there or will be arriving. I already met such a family a few blocks away in St. Louis this afternoon.]

But I’m having a whale of a time!
You have a riveting web log
and undoubtedly must have
atypical & quiescent potential
for your intended readership.
May I suggest that you do
everything in your power to
honor your encyclopedic/omniscient
Designer/Architect as well
as your revering audience.
As soon as we acknowledge
this Supreme Designer/Architect,
Who has erected the beauteous
fabric of the universe, our minds
must necessarily be ravished with
wonder at this infinate goodness,
wisdom and power.
Please remember to never
restrict anyone’s opportunities
for ascertaining uninterrupted
existence for their quintessence.
There is a time for everything,
a season for every activity
under heaven. A time to be
born and a time to die. A
time to plant and a time to
harvest. A time to kill and
a time to heal. A time to
tear down and a time to
rebuild. A time to cry and
a time to laugh. A time to
grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones
and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a
time to turn away. A time to
search and a time to lose.
A time to keep and a time to
throw away. A time to tear
and a time to mend. A time
to be quiet and a time to
speak up. A time to love
and a time to hate. A time
for war and a time for peace.
Best wishes for continued ascendancy,

P.S. One thing of which I am sure is
that the common culture of my youth
is gone for good. It was hollowed out
by the rise of ethnic “identity politics,”
then splintered beyond hope of repair
by the emergence of the web-based
technologies that so maximized and
facilitated cultural choice as to make
the broad-based offerings of the old
mass media look bland and unchallenging
by comparison.”
