New Year’s open thread
From: Michelle Malkin
Welcome to 2011! I’m enjoying family time and hope you all are, too.
A special New Year’s greeting to all our troops serving overseas. Always remember: We are the land of the free because of the brave.
Special thanks also to terrific guest-blogger Doug Powers for all his laugh-out-loud work this year (and especially during the past week while I’ve been traveling).
May 2011 bring more peace, prosperity, and freedom to all.

The attack, apparently caused by a car bomb, took place as the faithful left the church in the Sidi Bechr district at around half past midnight on New Year’s Day. The witnesses said a burnt-out car was in front of the entrance to the church.
Many Christians were demonstrating in front of a nearby mosque, the witnesses told AFP.
