Light Blogging
Today I was and am light blogging: I visited my sister who lives in the south of the country, whereas I live in the northern part.
PoliGazette Comments Policy
PoliGazette encourages comments from all viewpoints, especially those that disagree.
Comments submitted must, however, adhere to the following standards. Comments that violate
these standards may be edited or deleted without notice at the sole discretion of the editors.
Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue
publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.
(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly
or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that
respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should
not be posted.
(2) Comments should avoid vulgarity as well as racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual bigotry.
(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional
reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.
(4) Comments should reflect the contributions of the commenters themselves and should not
include extensive cut-and-paste reproductions of others' words except insofar as necessary to supplement
the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.
(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements.
Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or
that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat
slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.
Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors
by email only.

It looks like you are getting lots of attention over on Robert Spencer’s DhimmiWatch site today too.
Michael, I have a weird question if you might answer. If you’re talking about Netherlands, I had a student from Amsterdam in a business class I taught at FIU in Miami & I told him offhand that my ancestors came from Nijmegen. He looked at me strangely & said "I don’t know anything about people from that part of the country." I was his "perfesser" and found his comeback rather impolitic.Was he talking about a Protestant/Catholic thing, because his tone & attitude were rather off-putting?
Hahahhaha. Dave: umh, well, people from Amsterdam look at the rest like people from NYC do in the USA. In other words; arrogance. They consider Amsterdam "the city," and the rest "the peasants."
