Bolivia is hit by floods

Bolivia has suffered terrible flooding in the past few weeks, and over 40 people have died and many thousands are homeless. According to the International Red Cross, over 350,000 people have been affected, and diseases such as malaria are spreading rapidly. "President Evo Morales blames the floods on developed states failing to tackle climate change. Meteorologists say the El Niño phenomenon is the root cause." See BBC. The absurdity of linking such tragedies to the failure of the United States to sign the Kyoto Protocol is self-evident.

This (or that) year's

NOTE: Thus far, only blog posts related to politics and baseball are included in this list.

Blog highlights have been compiled for the years 2010-2012 thus far, and eventually will be compiled for earlier years, back to 2002.


Explanation

The "home made" blog organization system that I created was instituted on November 1, 2004, followed by several functional enhancements in subsequent years. I make no more than one blog post per day on any one category, so some posts may cover multiple news items or issues. Blog posts appear in the following (reverse alphabetical) order, which may differ from the chronological order in which the posts were originally made:

  1. Wild birds (LAST)
  2. War
  3. Science & Technology
  4. Politics
  5. Latin America
  6. Culture & Travel
  7. Canaries ("Home birds")
  8. Baseball (FIRST)
