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.

Coming to America


For John, BLUFHispanic immigants do assimilate.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



"Immigrants are Assimilating, Just Like Always".  That is the headline at The American Interest.  The author is Mr Walter Russell Mead.  The lede:
A new poll indicates that Hispanic immigrants, just like the many immigrants before them, are assimilating in pretty quick order.  More Hispanics get their news from English language sources than from Spanish ones, and the gap is growing as time goes by.
The belief/fear that Hispanics will become a dedicated block voting for Democratic Party candidates regardless of the views and ethics of those candidates goes against the grain of what America represents.  People vote their perceived interests.  And not just their economic interests.  Or, as often happens, they are satisfied either way and don't bother to vote.

And, it isn't like Hispanic immigrants came here to have more of what they had in the old country.  They came here for something else and most of them have probably guessed that it is a package deal.  My guess is that Asian immigrants assimilate more quickly, but everyone who is going to prosper is going to assimilate.  Those who don't assimilate will not prosper, except perhaps through crime.

Hat tip to the Instapundit.

  I like that middle name.
