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.

Dangerous in DC


For John, BLUFRemember Harry Truman's quip, "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog."  Nothing to see here; just move along.



Here is a blog post from "Doctrine Man", a sharp-eyed critic of the US Military.  It is a 20 question interview with Writer Tom Ricks, and titled "The Beard that Roared".  If you are interested in the views of a former reporter and current author with a focus on the US Military, then you can visit the site.

I have extracted part of Question 5 because it says something about our Nation's Capitol:

5. You have somewhat of a reputation for being irascible.  What makes you “tick”?

Kurt Campbell once observed to me that I didn’t want anything from anybody, and that made me both unusual and dangerous in Washington.  I found that flattering.  But it is true that I have what I want — the life of an independent writer.

For reference, Dr Kurt Campbell is a former Assistant Secretary of State.

  Famous for writing Fiasco:  The American Military Adventure in Iraq, 2003 to 2005, but his most recent book is The Generals:  American Military Command from World War II to Today, a not very flattering look at today's General Officers.
