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...
That is the only title that can be affixed to this wonderful clip, as you shall see:
She nailed it. Nailed it. The health care debate, like all significant disagreements in human history, comes down to a difference in philosophies. Does government exist to do all the minimal tasks that can’t be done at the local levels, organize a military, provide redress of grievances — the things actually listed in the Constitution? Or is it a teat to be suckled?
If the purpose of government is seize wealth for redistribution to others, then let us view that act as the theft that it really is. Stop dressing it up in bullshit town hall meetings, fancy legislation, marble buildings and business suits. Stop with the pious platitudes about “Doing the Work of The People” and get down to the brass tacks. Just come on over and take my twenty bucks. With force. Let’s see it happen in front of our faces.

The reason this could end well is that the Constitution. All the GOP has to do is RTFM, and hold the opposition to it, (Alinsky Rule #4). The Constitution is inherently minimalist. If the goals of those desiring a nanny State in the US are unobtainable at the state level, then we have a bigger problem.
The problem with everything I just said is that it requires the GOP to eschew being Democrat-lite. More generally, the political class, as a whole, needs to abandon its project to create a single state united from the 50.

- smitty1e | 09/06/2009 @ 11:26Speaking of nailing it…
The GOP would do well to heed the rest of your comment as well … not to mention the fact that it would be good for the country.
