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...
So, if Bolton is correct, then extremes meet in the monistic Darwinians and Deepakians, who are monstrous reflections of one another, being that both exclude God and replace him with the idol of human consciousness.

Perhaps this idea of the “worship of intelligence” is new to you, but it is the blue thread that runs through the modern left extending over the past century or so. Although it is primarily a narcissistic exercise in self-flattery, those who are not members of the cult are not just considered wrong, but dismissed as morons. But one of the bases of wisdom — which transcends the mere intellectualism of the tenured — is to know the limits of intelligence. And the left repeatedly fails in this regard, again, because of the replacement of God with human (small r) reason.Nearly every leftist policy failure falls into this trap, and yet, the prescription is always more of the same…

[E]ven despite the revelations of weathergate, these pinheads persist in their insane project of destroying the world’s economy — its wealth-producing mechanism — to “solve” a problem that doesn’t exist…For these radicals, the death of one child due to malaria is a tragedy, but the death of 50 million is a smashing success. [emphasis mine]
The irony, to me, is whenever I meet these folks they are always obsessed with humility. They may have a different name for it; but it is a constant that they consider the primary cause of all the world’s problems to be human arrogance, or something immediately connected to it.
Their error is caused by a dearth of precisely that agent they say they want to make more abundant in our world.
And yet when their programs fail…or simply demonstrate they could stand some improvement, but usually it’s a total fail…their own arrogance puts everyone else’s to shame. Let’s do it again. We did the right thing, just not enough of it.
We saw it this year, several times. Swindle-us. Cash for clunkers. Bailouts for S&L, auto companies, looks like media is next.
George Bush was expected to express all kinds of regret over Iraq, weapons of mass destruction, invasion of a sovereign country, angst over saying “bring it on”…none of this contrition ever did a damn thing to redeem him in the eyes of a single soul, but it was demanded of him anyway. But liberals can keep right on keepin’-on.
They make the mistake of comparing their own intentions, with the achievement of others. Their gonna-dooz against others’ have-dunz.
