Still Running Off at the Keyboard

TOGETHER AT LAST

First from the Novus Ordo Watch Website:

**NOTEWORTHY**
Novus Ordo Watch has been selected by Library of Congress as "historic collection of Internet materials related to the death of Pope John Paul II and the election of a new Pope."

Then from the Catholic and Enjoying It Website:

Ya gotta understand: I'm a big history buff, so this means as much to me as having a louse named after him meant for Gary Larson.

To Whom It May Concern:

The United States Library of Congress preserves the Nation's cultural artifacts and provides enduring access to them.

The Library has selected your site for inclusion in the historic collection of Internet materials related to the death of Pope John Paul II and the election of a new Pope, and we request your permission to collect and display your Web site.
