The art of keeping up with yesterday's blogging
I am tired and going home for the long weekend.
From the Pakistan embassy website: What if my last entry to the United States was not legal (without inspection and admission), do I have to register? This category applies to those Pakistanis whose entry to the US was not on a valid visa and they crossed the border. No. The current Registration requirements apply only… Continue reading Special Registration Advice
Here are excerpts I like from Ayaz Amir’s op-ed in Dawn, the largest English language Pakistani newspaper: We like to think – or rather we comfort ourselves with the thought – that the West, especially the United States, is caught in a frenzy of Muslim-bashing. We try not to realize that our own condition, a… Continue reading Ayaz Amir on Bin Ladenism

Non-immigrants from mostly Muslim countries have to go through special registration at the airport as well as at INS offices. For the call-in special registration currently happening for Pakistanis and Saudis, here is what… Continue reading INS Special Registration Procedures
Add any other of your favorite dictators, thugs or murderers. Is this a good slogan for a country that is proud of its democratic tradition? Unqualified Offerings has a new tongue-in-cheek (I think) version of the pledge of allegiance: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic… Continue reading Better than Hitler, Stalin and Castro
Even though the large majority of my readers are from North America, I was surprised to find such a large number of countries represented among my readers: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, France, New Zealand, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, Japan, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Costa Rica, Estonia, Singapore, Czech Republic, United Arab Emirates, Sweden,… Continue reading The Reach of the Internet
Newseum is a very cool site containing the front page of newspapers from around the world in the form they are published on paper. (Found via CalPundit.)
