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...
“Washington doesn’t get it.”
That generic statement is tripping off the tongues of populists and Tea Partiers, business groups and bankers alike. In short, the public is peeved at the politicians.
I heard it this week from William Dunkelberg, chief economist of the National Federation of Independent Business, who used his group’s latest survey to opine on Washington’s deaf ear for helping small business.
The president and Congress “pay lip service to the fact that small business generates half of private-sector GDP and employs 60 percent or more of private-sector workers,” Dunkelberg says. As far as Washington’s efforts to help this sector of the economy, “instead of stimulus, give consumers a tax cut,” he says.
If Obama was a conciliatory force ushering us into a post-partisan age of beltway harmony, He’d do the one smart thing that might possibly appeal to everyone: Push a genuine tax cut and call it a stimulus.
Die-hard liberals would come out of the woodwork to give form and voice to Item #7 on the list of things that give clueless idiot dipshits away,
Speaking of a tax cut as something that “costs” money.
…with their theatrical outrage that President Obama is “spending” this money on a tax cut, like some kind of a Republian. And Obama would say to them “yes, I’m spending money, it’s My new stimulus plan. For far too long we have thought of stimulus as something that has to go through Washington, and now we must reject the false choice…” and sprinkle all kinds of other Obama Speech Bingo tidbits in there.
The point is, it would help us and it would help Him.
But He won’t do it. Apparently, we cannot become this Utopia in which everyone is equal, until we have a relatively small crowd of people pulling the strings on the daily miseries and fortunes of a much larger crowd of people. And so the money has to flow in one direction, and then — based on certain conditions — maybe flow back again. Once you elect democrats, it’s got to work that way. A non-negotiable item.
