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...
“Everybody wants to be part of history, but as a result you’re going to have people flying in on their private jets, limousines and SUVs cruising around Washington, D.C. keeping everybody warm, and that’s going to have a big carbon footprint,” said Brian Darling, director of U.S. Senate Relations at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
“For people to make believe that somehow they’re making this a carbon-friendly Inauguration is really just a joke. If they really care that much about the environment, they would not have these millions of people coming to Washington, D.C.”
Well that’s really unfair though, isn’t it? Barack Obama won’t be spending all four years having an inauguration ceremony every day. This is just the marking of a truly exceptional event, right?
Well if you have a working long-term memory, not really. One trait that binds all left-wing initiatives to a common theme is…commonality. How many ideas do they have over there that aren’t really ideas at all, just proposals to “come together” to do something unspecified? Yes, they will only be inclined toward a true inauguration once or twice. But the coming-together is constant and forever. It is a vital part of what they do. It is their prefered method for making bad ideas look good, and making bad ideas look good is something they have to do fairly often.
So it’s rather incriminating that the thing that spews all this carbon they say is so toxic, is the shuttling of butts to a central location. Is that something the Obama administration will be doing once-and-once-only?
Inquiring minds want to know. The survival of our planet depends on it…that’s what they tell me.

In honor of His inauguration tomorrow, I suggest we all support Obama the way He supported His president: “Don’t be bamboozled. Don’t buy into it… It’s great if he (President Bush) commits to signing it (the extension of the Voting Rights Act), but what is critical is the follow-through. You don’t just talk the talk, but you also walk the walk.”
