The American Times was formerly a political blog that appears to have ceased operations in the 2005 time frame.  The blogs do not appear to have a copyright on them so we will re-post some of those entries from time to time just to compare and contrast the current blogosphere with the older one.

If you are a former blogger on this site and wish to blog again for a share of the paid advertising (Google Adsense pay per click) or you are a new blogger and wish to blog, call me at :
