Stricter drug laws

by David Weman

(Published, then removed earlier version of this when i meant to save it as a draft. Apologies for the confusion.)
Yahoo! News - EU Agrees Drugs Law, Dutch ‘Coffee’ Shops Survive
This shows just how much policy is made in Brussels nowadays. This happens to be real bad policy, too (the small posession stuff.) But regardless of [...]

Miserable failure

by David Weman

Ok, so I do have something to say about the stability pact.
The pact was so flawed that this may have been preferable to actually doing what was supposed to be done, but that does not mean this new “pretend it ’s raining” policy is anything short of terrible. This is astunning failure of political leadership [...]

Anti-Semitism in Europe, take two

by David Weman

This was all over the blogosphere a week ago. I didn’t get around to finishing this post until now. EU body shelves report on anti-semitism
I’m with Eugene Volokh, we should withhold judgement. It may be that the report was no good. This pasage makes me suspect so:
“When the researchers submitted their work in October last [...]

The stability pact

by David Weman

No one here have said anything about the recent unraveling of the stability pact. That felt after a little weird after seeing that US bloggers Daniel Drezner and Atrios, of all people, have both commented on the issue.
(Edward did write about it on Bonobo Land though)
Drezner links to this article from the Economist, [...]

Oh Dear

by David Weman

We’ve been hit by comments spam. I guess I’ll have to read up on what to do. Good thing really, since Europundit already had problems, and I only bothered to ban and delete.

Islamist terror has reached Europe

by David Weman

Near-simultaneous car bombs exploded outside two Istanbul synagogues filled with worshippers Saturday, killing at least 20 people and wounding more than 300. The government said the attack had international links, raising suspicions that the al-Qaida terror network was involved.
This is tragic, revolting and frightening, frightening because it gives us another indication that the al-Qaida network [...]

How are we doing so far?

by David Weman

Greetings, gentle readers. I may have recovered from blogging fatigue, and thought I’d start over by asking you for a little help. How do you think we’re doing? Any complaints? Any helpful suggestions? What do you want to see more of, or less of?

European free riding?

by David Weman

Doug and Elliot Oti brought up the subject of European free riding in the comment’s to Doug’s latest post.
Let me pose this hypothetical. After his landslide win in 2004, president Kuichinik, slashes the US military budget to a third of its current size.

We’re, like, huge

by David Weman

After reading this Crooked Timber entry, I went and typed ‘fistful’ and ‘euros’ in Google, and, get this, we’re the number one result for both. Ahead of companies with domains like euros.net, euros.nl, etc, presumably spending good money on their websites and marketing. Euros is a sponsored links query.
