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...
This morning’s Best Sentence I’ve Seen Lately award goes to the Only Republican in San Francisco, who’s managed to trip across a rather interesting Zogby poll and shares his thoughts. Keep reading ALL the way to the bottom, to the tidbit inside the parentheses.
…being the local political minority that I am, I found this to be credible:
When asked which political party most Americans believe to be responsible for many of the gravest problems facing the world:
o War: 62% blamed Republicans vs. 14% Democrats
o Global Warming: 56% blamed Republicans vs. 10% Democrats
o Prejudice: 52% blamed Republicans vs. 22% for Democrats
o Poverty: 49% held Republicans accountable; 29% Democrats
o Corruption: 47% blamed Republicans vs. 31% Democrats
o Crime: On this issue, respondents reversed the trend, with 42% blaming Democrats vs. 23% RepublicansNow, I would have voted with these majorities. I do think that people blame “Republicans” for just about anything. When I hear this kind of talk (which is pretty much every day ’round here), the first thing I think is that the person talking has trouble forming their own opinions. (I also think “swap ‘Republican’ with ‘Jew’ to see how progressive your ideas really are”.) [emphasis mine]
It’s a brilliant point. I have absolutely nothing to add to it, not a single word…which is a little out of character for me.
How many people do YOU know who might learn a thing or two about themselves from reading it?
