The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

"Does America want to be Mitt Romney's client?"

Law Professor Ann Althouse talks about what Governor Romney might be thinking about for advancing our nation economically.  Here is the quote she took from the article to which she links.
If a client invites you in and is ready to pay a lot of money for your counsel, it is not because you know their business better than they do. Of course, they know their business better than I ever would.  But they’re looking for someone to understand their business challenges in a new light.  And that presents an analytical challenge which is steep and exciting.  And I love the thinking and the analyzing as much as anything. 
I understand his point.  Having done, in my time, analysis for money, I agree with the sentiment.

Later in the blog post she talks about the five things Governor Romney sees as important for reviving the our economy.
Any nation that wants to have good jobs and rising wages knows that the answer is to have, if you will, a strategy based on the five principles that form the basis of my economic policy. First, take advantage of our energy resources; two, provide the skills that our workers need through adult education and great schools; three, get trade to work for us by clamping down on cheaters like China and also opening up new markets for goods, like Latin America; four, taking steps to get America to a balanced budget; and five, being a champion of small business by holding down taxes on small business, getting regulation to work for small business, and getting health-care costs under control.
As I am currently reading The New Geography of Jobs, I think there should be specific emphasis on "innovation", although I think the bits and pieces are there.
