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.

Biting Off Our Nose to Spite Our Face


For John, BLUFWill we abolish the Constitution (and Declaration of Independence) to show our righteousness?  Nothing to see here; just move along.



First we have the Power Line Blog post on the subject, by Mr Steven Hayward, on 29 October 2017.  This is the cynical, sarcastic, look at the topic, linked above.

Then there is The Waington Examiner Article, entitled "George Washington’s church to tear down memorial honoring first president".

From the sub-headline, it turns out to be a twofer:

Robert E. Lee plaque also to be taken down; both men attended Alexandria church
From the third paragraph of the article:
While acknowledging “friction” over the decision, the church’s leadership said both plaques, which are attached to the front wall on either side of the altar, are relics of another era and have no business in a church that proclaims its motto as “All are welcome — no exceptions.”
My Brother John, noting the motto, asks:
If "All are welcome -- no exceptions," shouldn't they leave the plaques up?
So, do we think that Geo Washington, "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen,"  resides now in Hell?  I don't and I hope you don't either.  We have gotten into judging people,  rather than letting the historic cards fall where the May.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit And to my Other Brother, Lance.
