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...
Great move, Barry Huss. And here I was worried that you might actually have had a shot.
Sen. Barack Obama has selected Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as his running mate, according to his official Web site and a text message the campaign sent to supporters on Saturday.
“Barack has chosen Senator Joe Biden to be our VP nominee,” the text message, sent at around 3 a.m. ET, said.
“Joe and I will appear for the first time as running mates this afternoon in Springfield, Illinois — the same place this campaign began more than 19 months ago,” Obama said in an e-mail sent to supporters Saturday morning.
Let the jokes about ethnic groups running convenience stores begin.
Really, what in the hell does this guy add to the ticket. Oh, wait…I get it. Ebony and Ivory. And then that whole “experience” thing.
They’re also two senators. And two buffoons. But I repeat myself.
Someone needs to explain to me, before this is all over, why the senate is thought of as a stepping stone to the White House. It hasn’t really been one, in recent years, you know. But more importantly, the voting public has not expressed any kind of hunger for the kinds of things senators do, and the talents senators show, in our presidential candidates. Yeah, we chuckle a lot when senators step in it like Biden chronically does (and Obama too, come to think of it) but that doesn’t mean we want to promote verbal incompetence to a higher position — especially when half of your platform is making fun of the current president for mispronouncing “nuclear.”
The other thing sure to arouse comment from all sides, is — what does it have to do with “Change Change Change!” to bring on board to your #2 slot, some guy who’s been sitting in there for all of his constitutional ability to do so — for thirty-five years? That would mean he is the architect of this stuff you’re wanting to change, right? That would include the October 2002 final resolution to support the war in Iraq, right?
Awkwaaaaaard…
I was just reading how nobody wants to go to the Republican convention. (“LOL!,” says DailyKOS…wow…”LOL” just keeps getting funnier, every time they do that.) And here I thought it was because Republicans had nothing to say, beyond “our left-wing guy isn’t as left-wing as that other left-wing guy”…I thought, y’know, that didn’t exactly get the blood pumping. But now I see the game plan — the GOP is going to skip its own convention, and somehow, through spies and plants and Manchurian candidates and what-not, make all the important decisions for the opposition.
Because, if they were doing that, who’d they pick besides Biden?
Good going, Republicans. First thing you’ve done right this year. No, really, I mean that. I want to grab a bag of popcorn and see what happens next. First time I felt that way since Fred dropped out.
Update: Via Michelle, I learn about a clip the McCain campaign would appear to have had locked, loaded and ready to go:
Pretty damn good. This is a major problem Obama Biden bin Laden has, and the spot hammers home the point very well. Good on ya, Mac.
