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.

Maryland County Official Forgets About First Amendment


For John, BLUFI think even George would say this is open and shut.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



Bullies get away with what we let them get away with.  In this case the bully is Mr Kirby Delauter, a Frederick County (Maryland) Council Member.  He used Facebook to threaten local Journalist Ms Bethany Rodgers.  For—wait for it—for using his name without permission in a newspaper article.

Law Professor and Washington Post Blogger Eugene Volokh has fun with this here  Including.

Uh, Council Member:  In our country, newspapers are actually allowed to write about elected officials (and others) without their permission.  It’s an avantgarde experiment, to be sure, but we’ve had some success with it.
Hat tip to Memeorandum.
