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...
“Although I still have a passion for public service and enjoy my work in the Senate, I have other interests and I have other things I would like to pursue outside of public life. I have written two books and have an invitation from a publisher to write two more books. I would like to do some teaching and would also like to work on energy policy in the private sector.
“So, over this holiday season, I have come to the conclusion, with the support of my family, that I will not be seeking another term in the U.S. Senate in 2010. It is a hard decision to make after thirty years in the Congress, but I believe it is the right time for me to pursue these other interests.”
A source tells Political Wire that Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter (D) is ending his re-election campaign. A fundraiser scheduled for tonight was canceled and all campaign staff was sent home in the middle of the day.
The decision does not appear to be fundraising related which has reportedly gone better than expected.
Dodd…
Embattled Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd (D) has scheduled a press conference at his home in Connecticut Wednesday at which he is expected to announce he will not seek re-election, according to sources familiar with his plans.
Dodd’s retirement comes after months of speculation about his political future, and amid faltering polling numbers and a growing sense among the Democratic establishment that he could not win a sixth term.
Rats fleeing a sinking ship. Wow, that democrat party is really an unstoppable juggernaut, isn’t it? Really the wave of the future.

Well, I knew that Dodd would get flushed this year. However, i fully expected the Torricelli gambit which his move obviously is. As much as I enjoy watching a turd like Dodd go down the drain, it will now be much more difficult for the GOP to grab that seat.
Two things that I want to see in January 2011:
1) Harry Reid leaving DC forever
2) Nancy Pelosi handing over the Speaker gavel to someone else.

Oh “the ship” they flee isn’t sinking. I suspect that ALL will “suddenly” find themselves engaged with lucrative, no-show “jobs” working for previously-deemed strange bedfellows. Kinda like the Clinton “library”, or other um….tax deductible “charitable cause for whirled peas”.
Expect to see the phrases consultant, community organization, work force, variations of foreign “client”, and of course “…for the women, and children”.
I think a swell game, based on “Hi Bob”(Newhart) rules, could be based on such a premise. (See! I DID pursue a college education!)
