In ancient times the northernmost region of the habitable world - hence, any distant, unknown or mysterious land.

Sorry to have not been posting anything for several days. I've been
suffering from a stomach virus and also terminal boredom over the latest
news, so I thought this was a good time to take a little break. Check
back in in a day or two and hopefully, either I'll be better, or there
will be something exciting in the news to talk about. Until then --
check out Birdblog or any of the other fine blogs listed on my page.

I am a naturalized Ukrainian-American, fortunate enough to have been admitted to this great land as an immigrant. My personal history is the spur for this blog. My parents lived through the Ukrainian Genocidal Famine of 1933, survived years of Communist persecution, fled to the West, endured forced labor in Nazi Germany, and following liberation, ended up in Allied internment camps fighting forced repatriation to the Soviet Union under the Yalta Agreement. Their courageous struggle to bring our family to freedom, first to Australia, then to America, and their example of unflinching faithfulness to truth and honor, have left an indelible impression on me. My parents did not save me from Communism and Nazism for me to go gently into dhimmitude or slavery. Hence my passion and my mission to expose threats to freedom and democracy wherever they are found. This blog is a testament to their courage and my small gift to their heroism. ***ADDENDUM*** Aussiegirl, my wife, Helen, passed away on January 13, 2007. I shall continue her blog to allow access to her archives.***David

Aussiegirl, the blogosphere just isn't the same without your great posts, so let me add my voice to this chorus and please, get well soon and get back to work!
Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks for the nice wishes, all. Looks like the news got exciting overnight, although the nomination of Harriet Miers has given me another stomach ache!
