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.

Christopher Columbus Alternatives


TRIGGER WARNING:  What if C^2 had been funded by Abu `Abdallah Muhammad XII, the Emir of Granada?

For John, BLUFIf Christopher Columbus did wrong, then was there a "right" way of learning about the rest of the world?  Nothing to see here; just move along.




A nice, but short read, by UPI and Mr James C Bennet, on 12 October of the year 2002.

Here is the meat of it.

I do not join in the politically-correct denigration of Columbus.  But I do raise the question of whether, by celebrating him rather than John Cabot [born Giovanni Caboto], we of the Anglosphere may be celebrating the wrong Italian.
The answer is yes.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
