Thumbs up

Glad to hop on The King's Speech bandwagon - an excellent movie.

Also a useful reminder about how the pro-Nazi Edward did Great Britain and the world a huge favor by abdicating. As king he would have been dangerous, not just a public nuisance.

Terror, again

The one-sided Muslim war on Christians continues, again targeting Egypt's ancient Coptic community.

A powerful bomb, possibly from a suicide attacker, exploded in front of a Coptic Christian church as a crowd of worshippers emerged from a New Years Mass early Saturday, killing at least 21 people and wounding nearly 80 in an attack that raised suspicions of an al-Qaida role.

The attack came in the wake of threats by al-Qaida militants in Iraq to attack Egypt's Christians. A direct al-Qaida hand in the bombing would be a dramatic development, as the government of President Hosni Mubarak has long denied that the terror network has a significant presence in the country. Al-Qaida in Iraq has already been waging a campaign of violence against Christians in that country.
