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...
Circular Logic
Lately I notice when I part company with someone on The Left, the parting of company takes place at some point where the leftist confuses fact & opinion. There is a dizzy spell that immediately precedes this, as I follow along the case they’ve presented, trying to find the nugget of compelling argument shaping the soft opinion into a hard, established fact. A little while ago I noticed one of these arguments, a very popular one, was in fact circular, which means there was no such compelling nugget anywhere in it. A was proved by B but along the way, C was presumed; C relied on D; D was proven because A said so.
Then I noticed another leftist argument worked this way, and then another and another. “Jimmy Carter deserved his Nobel Peace Prize because he is a very smart man; he is in favor of things like getting the United States out of Iraq; we know those policies are sound, because they’re backed by noted Nobel Peace Prize recipients; such as, for example, Jimmy Carter.” Like that.
I’ve decided to start a collection.
