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.

Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Neal Boortz asks it here.
Why in the world isn’t anyone connecting the increase in the jobless rate last month to the increase in the minimum wage? At the beginning of the last month the minimum wage went up by 70 cents.
There are some left-wingers running around, with the same rights and privileges as you and me, insisting that an increase in the minimum wage will lower unemployment, if anything.
And, as the guy pointed out in that martial-arts video, you aren’t supposed to be trying to “raise a family” on minimum wage. That is the situation for some folks, but debating how many is pretty useless. The problem begins there. Minimum wage is for kids. Bachelors. Heck, not even bachelors. People just starting out.
Just another example: People on the left say they’re here to help people in a certain economic circumstance, and their “help” comes in the form of making it artificially expensive for others to do business with them. When business is made artificially expensive, less of it goes on. What’s so hard about that.
How about this. How about we ask the democrats to go on record, and say — yes, it is our position that if we can raise the minimum wage high enough, we’ll have full employment. And then explain to us how that works, assuming they really want to take that position.
