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.

Pushing the Camera

I remember, when I first arrived in Lowell an exchange of letters with a Globe columnist, who had disparaged the movie Primary Colors.  I had said the opening night show my wife and I attended was so crowded a couple on their first date could not sit together.  He noted that in Lowell "Politics is a blood sport".

Along that theme is this item in The Weekly Standard.  I sure hope the Scott Brown crew has been talked to so they don't do the same infantile thing.  Then, the article reaches back to last time and AG Martha Coakley.  Fortunately the Coakley staff incident was out of state.

The local CBS Affiliate reported this incident, but then, in a "fair and balanced" way, reports a previous incident by the Brown Campaign.

The one good thing is that this shows at least one person, the "cab" driver, is excited about the campaign.

It’s one thing to dog the opposition with your little digital cameras (and it’s really the only strategy Brown has right now, since he can’t run on his dismal voting record) but it’s another thing to stick so close that you intimidate people. Most average people do not like to be videotaped, and when a camera is out they get nervous. It’s rude, at a bare minimum, to film every second of every conversation Elizabeth has with people, not to mention at the very close range this guy was standing the whole time.

Maybe Scott Brown ought to teach his campaign staffers a few manners. At a minimum, how to step back far enough not to intimidate people who want to get to know a candidate. Intimidating voters seems a pretty poor way to run a campaign.

Not the way it looked to me.

If Police can handle it, why not the "taxi driver"?
