Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Phil spotted something that made him want to grab a bag of popcorn.
Three time zones away, we’re tossing one in the microwave too. This is great stuff.
Are they selling popcorn? This is almost cheerin’ me up.
At yesterday’s White House briefing, ABC News’s Jake Tapper asked whether Obama worried that the nearly $200,000 in back taxes and penalties owed between Geithner and Daschle will “undercut the president’s cry for an era of responsibility.”
“Both Secretary Geithner and Secretary-designate Daschle are the right people for very important jobs,” press secretary Robert Gibbs replied.
“Is there an amount of money in unpaid back taxes for any nominee to the President’s Cabinet that would be considered disqualifying?” needled Fox News’s Major Garrett.
“I’m not going to get into hypotheticals,” Gibbs answered.
No link there, but you can check out the crunchiest details here. Most every kernel popped, too.
I wonder what the Founding Fathers would say if you could dig ’em up, light ’em up or thaw ’em out. If you believe everything you read in the public school system, they’d say “Yupsiree, I knew when we wrote those documents they wuz perfect in every way, godlike things.” I’ve never completely subscribed to that theory. Perfect stuff is built by perfectionists, and perfectionists are never happy.
My opinion is, they’d unanimously agree the experiment has failed.
What was the central focus? To create a nation of laws, not of men. To create a society in which all are beholden to the same law, no man above it.
It’s become a freakin’ joke.
And I don’t think the Founding Fathers would blame our politicians, either. They’d blame us.
