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...
Cassy’s back, feeling better hopefully, and she has some words for the folks instructing the rest of us to love the country, with them, only now that His Hopey-Changey-ness has been elected President.
What’s really pathetic is how for [Julianne] Malveaux, and many liberals like her, their love for their country is wrapped up in which politicians are running the place at the moment. Yet they howl in outrage if you question their patriotism, as if conditional love is just as good as unconditional love. Maybe I, a conservative in Flyover Country, am some kind of freak or something, but I love my country all the time. I love my country regardless of who is currently in office, I love my country for the good and the bad, and I will always fight for her. I don’t need to have a President with an (R) next to his name to love my country, nor does he have to be a specific race, gender, or religion for me to love her.
It says much worse about Julianne Malveaux than it does about America that her love for her country, and seemingly her self-worth as well, is dependant on a politician. I’m guessing as soon as Obama leaves office, she’ll just sink back into despair and victimhood, right?
Couldn’t agree more. There is something sickening about a fair-weather friendship. It doesn’t fill me with hopey-changeyness and I don’t think it makes anybody else too hopeful about anything either.
Now’s the time to push back. Let’s make it a bipartisan pushback. Patriotism, after all, knows no political season. Not in any country, and most definitely not in this one…

Absolutely Morgan!
- tim | 11/19/2008 @ 10:19Amen. A little something I wrote back in May:
“These are the people who are waving the signs that say it is patriotic to question your government. To them I say that you are absolutely right – if you live in Darfur or Kosovo or Iran or North Korea. If you are American and questioning your government, well, I don’t consider that anything so grave as treason, but at its very best it is simple-minded. At it’s worst it is disingenuous and carelessly combative.”
