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...
Keep an eye on her.
YES. WANT. MORE.
Update: I remember many, many years ago I had a boss who did what Eric Holder’s doing here…he’d get this look on his face, like what I was explaining to him involved some unreasonably high level of effort on his part to translate it into English. Maybe it was true, but I realized I was past the point of no return when he got that crinkley-eyebrowed look before I had said anything confusing, or even complicated.
There were a couple of times I wanted to just come out and call him on it. Hey…what I just said is pure-plain-vanilla, more or less on par with “nice weather today huh?” Why are you getting this look on your face already? It’s early! Wait until I say something that’s really hard to figure out, we’re not quite there yet. Since he was my boss, I only did this in my dreams…and I sense this exasperation in the Congresswoman.
Holder, along with the entire administration, is wearing out the act. Everything is hopelessly confusing, strange, over-complicated, bigoted…something that cannot be understood and should not be understood. Everything except the softball questions like “So what’s it feel like to be so awesome?”
I’m tiring very quickly of this malarkey about the respect that is due Attorney General Holder due to his lofty position. Like I said over at the Hello Kitty of Bloggin’ about this…
We have two schools of thought at work here. One sez…if the position held by the person is a very high one, you need to show due respect and not ask any uncomfortable questions…the other one sez, if the position held by the person is a very high one, then the trust that has been placed in him is also very high, and he shouldn’t be withholding any answers without a very good reason. I belong to the second one. Wonder if I’m outnumbered.

Holder lacks the same intellectual honesty that litigants on Judge Judy lack…but, people died on this one.
- BillW. | 02/21/2012 @ 08:26I am watching this incompetent, dishonest, evasive buffoon testifying before a freaking CONGRESSIONAL committee, and I keep asking myself the same questions:
– This guy is the Atty General, our nation’s chief law enforcement officer?
– Where the hell did Chairman Zero dig up this clown?
– If Holder doesn’t know what the hell is going on in his own department, what is he doing running DOJ?
– If the president doesn’t fire him when this is over, what is to stop the Republicans from impeaching HIM instead?
Seriously. History has shown that we can impeach a president over issues with Reconstruction, over lying about knowing about a botched burglary, and over lying under oath about a stained blue dress. In none of those incidents did anyone actually die.
Now, we’ve got a Texas-sized scandal brewing…over a series of incidents that involve guns “walking” across an international boundary, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of innocent civilians (and at least one Border Patrol agent) and we’re getting no answers whatsoever about it from the people who are or should be “in the know” about what really happened.
