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...
Obama/Biden, which is an anagram of “An Idea Bomb,” just avoided a real idea bomb. Someone who works there and grapples with the real responsibility of making decisions that matter…must have been sick that day. Pity.
Lindsay Lohan wanted to stump for Barack Obama, but was turned down with a polite ”thanks, but no thanks,” the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The trouble-prone actress offered to host a series of events aimed at younger voters, but the Democratic presidential candidate’s camp wasn’t interested, the paper says.
Lohan ”is not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us,” a top source on the Obama team told the paper.
Well, that’s okay. We know Lindsay Lohan is the kind of Hollywood starlet who exemplifies all that hopey-changey goodness An Idea Bomb has in mind for the country.
Lohan and her all-but-confirmed girlfriend Samantha Ronson recently bashed Republican vice presidential hopeful Gov. Sarah Palin on Lohan’s MySpace blog.
“I really cannot bite my tongue anymore when it comes to Sarah Palin,” Lohan wrote, urging people to vote for Obama. “Is it a sin to be gay? Should it be a sin to be straight? Or to use birth control? Or to have sex before marriage? Or even to have a child out of wedlock?”
Oh…goodie…yes, let’s lower our I.Q. by a few points. Click that link. Must…stop…mousey clickey finger of doom…oh no, can’t hold it. ++Click++
I really cannot bite my tongue anymore when it comes to Sarah Palin.
I couldn’t be more supportive of a woman in office, but let’s face it, it comes down to the person, and their beliefs, male or female.
Is it a sin to be gay? Should it be a sin to be straight? Or to use birth control? Or to have sex before marriage? Or even to have a child out of wedlock?
I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to be second in command of the United States, only 4 years ago had aspirations to be a television anchor. Which is probably all she is qualified to be… Also interesting that she got her passport in 2006.. And that she is not fond of environmental protection considering she’s FOR drilling for oil in some of our protected land…. Well hey, if she wants to drill for oil, she should DO IT IN HER OWN backyard. This really shows me her complete lack of real preparation to become the second most powerful person in this country.
Hmmmm-All of this gets me going-Fear, Anxiety, Concern, Disappointment, and Stress come into play…
Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?
I know that the most important thing about this election is that people need to exercise their right to vote, regardless of their choice… I would have liked to have remained impartial, however I am afraid that the “lipstick on a pig” comments will overshadow the issues and the fact that I believe Barack Obama is the best choice, in this election, for president…
Palin’s Desire to “save and convert the gays”-really??
According to this Associated Press story, the church of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is hosting a kind of conference devoted to the “conversion of Gays” — no kidding.
Here’s the AP text:
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) ? Gov. Sarah Palin’s church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.
You’ll be encouraged by the power of God’s love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality,” according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed since she was a child.
Palin’s conservative Christian views have energized that part of the GOP electorate, which was lukewarm to John McCain’s candidacy before he named her as his vice presidential choice. She is staunchly anti-abortion, opposing exceptions for rape and incest, and opposes gay marriage and spousal rights for gay couples.

I feel it’s necessary for me to clarify that I am not against Sarah Palin as a mother or woman.
Women have come a long way in the fight to have the choice over what we do with our bodies… And its frightening to see that a woman in 2008 would negate all of that.
Oh, and…Hint Hint Pali Pal- Don’t pose for anymore tabloid covers, you’re not a celebrity, you’re running for office to represent our, your, my COUNTRY!
And in the words of Pamela Anderson, “She can suck it”..
Lindsay- “I have faith that this country will be all that it can be with the proper guidance. I really hope that all of you make your decisions based on the facts and what feels right to you in your heart-vote for obama!”
Samantha- “I love this country- however i wasn’t born here and don’t have the right to vote- so i beg of you all to really do your research and be educated when you cast your vote this coming november…. and if you’re in doubt- vote for obama! Mainly because if she gets elected my green card probably won’t get renewed!!!”

Lindsay and Samantha
Same brain-dead pap we get from all the other intellectual lightweights in Tinseltown.
Palin is not on record, so far as I know, wanting to lock up homosexuals. Or to parade them in a town square in stocks and chains. Or even to poke jokes at them. Or to force them to convert, or hold them as a captive audience for some religious ceremony intended to so convert them.
She has private views about whether homosexuality is normal or not, and she has an opinion about what to do with this marriage-definition question. And, if she is indeed tied into this “Pray Away The Gay” thing as it’s sometimes called — which, I notice, is not substantiated anywhere — is willing to pray for it. And by the way, that is a right she has as a private citizen, guaranteed over and over again in the writings of the Founding Fathers, and added to our Constitution through the First Amendment.
People like Lohan aren’t willing to tolerate it. They think, in order to be a tolerant society, we have to lock down the people who have these beliefs. Or, not just the people who have ’em, but the ones who are associated with them as well. Keep them from running for higher office, or saying anything. After all…+++chuckle+++…they see it as “intolerant.” +++snicker+++
For Barack Obama to condemn my daughter for past indiscretions when he admitted to the exact same himself is indicative of what kind of president he would be.
:
His visions of a positive future for this country should be representative of a positive future for people as well. It is looking beyond the difficult times and letting go of the past…Obviously, Obama can do this for himself and not others, when in fact a good president should have hope for all.
Silly starlet-daddy. Liberals never mean “everyone” when they run around using words like “everyone.” You’re just figuring that out?
Tough break on the An Idea Bomb people, Lindsay. Try calling back a different day and getting hold of a different operator. Maybe you’ll get a different answer. I hope so. Can’t wait to see you on the campaign trail. Just wipe your nose first.

So Lindsey Lohan has beliefs that are contrary to Sarah Palin’s.
Lindsey believes that people who hold Sarah’s beliefs should be disqualified from holding public office. I assume she also believes that people who hold Lindsey’s beliefs should not be disqualified from holding public office.
Just remember, it’s all about the outrage. You must be seen expressing the outrage. Lindsey wanted a soap box on which to express her outrage to stroke her ego and feel important. And she was denied that soapbox by her hero.
So sad.

“Because at the end of the day,” he goes on to say, “I’m good at writing songs and singing. What I’m not educated in is the field of political science. And so for me to be sharing my views and influencing people of who I think they should be voting for … I think would be very irresponsible on my part.”
Of the celebs who haven’t taken the same approach, Rock says, “I think celebrity endorsements hurt politicians. As soon as somebody comes out for a politician, especially in Hollywood, when they all go, ‘I’m voting for this guy!’ – I go, ‘That’s not who I’m voting for!’ ”
Lindsey, you may want to listen to Kid Rock.
