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.

Speaking of Sarah Palin

I remember how flat footed many were caught when Sarah Palin emerged in 2008 as the VP choice for the Republicans.  Just so that won't happen again, I will again mention South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.  I mentioned her in a comment a few minutes ago, when someone tried to push Senator Jim DeMint, also of South Carolina.

At Dinner yesterday, only three of of the 20 were Republican in their leanings, and the name Nikki Haley was largely unknown as those of use in the side of Lincoln were asked who might possibly run for President in 2012.  (As you might imagine, I said it was too early to tell.)

But, back to Ms Haley, here is a headline from The Hill, "Gov. Haley's advice to GOP presidential hopefuls:  Change your message".

As reported by Mr Jordan Fabian, the message from Governor Haley is to have a more positive message, to show where we should be going and not just talk about how bad things are.
There is a group … that has come through South Carolina. They are trying to tell me how they are going to win. I don't care how they are going to win, I want to know how they are going to fix our country.
Probably not the person to emerge in 2012, but in 2016 she may be a player.

Hat tip to Ann Althouse, in a way, since she recommended the website MemeOrandum, which had a link to the article from The Hill.

Actually, THAT is the ONLY message that will win in 2012 and after that, if it isn't a GOP win, there won't BE a 2016 for the GOP. We will either be engaged in a huge civil war, or will quietly retrograde to a single party system...for all practical purposes. Given the mania today for collectivist thinking fueled by a overwhelming desire for the state to take care of every need, I am going to be surprised if the GOP can cut it.

BTW, Sarah Palin will NOT run. She has no interest in running. Why SHOULD she run? But, she is correct in her pronouncements.

Yes, its a long way to November 2012, but I see no possibilities for anyone who can go the distance. AND...the folks who can will be shut out by the big money interests that are backing the ones that haven't got a prayer.

BTW....The Donald as President is laughable....might as well hire Bernie Madoff as Secretary of the Treasury...and Tina Fey as SecState.

The US military is the single most powerful "collectivist" organization in the world.

China is a close 2nd, but they are going Capitalist.

Maybe my Army experience has me brainwashed?

Cliff, does the Air Force run as a bunch of rogues? Maybe you jet jocks do? That John McCain is a real maverick. But the others, like SAC, are they rogue-ish?
