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...
Boortz says all that needs to be said…not a single word needs changing, adding or dropping.
EARTHQUAKE IN HAITI
And a devastating one at that. High casualty numbers are expected. So, what happens next? America comes to the rescue, that’s what. American taxpayers will spend tens of millions of dollars helping the people of Haiti. The American military will soon be involved. The U.S. Southern Command was gearing up for a relief effort within hours after the earthquake. Why? Well .. because that’s just what we do, that’s why. Frankly I would rather see the money spent to help the innocent victims of an earthquake in a neighboring country than on enabling single mothers, drunks and druggies in this country. You see pictures of the children trapped in the rubble in Haiti and you can’t help but want the do something. Not only American government, but American relief agencies will be stepping forward. My wife is a Red Cross volunteer … If she wasn’t involved in another project she would have been packing her bags last night. Americans will step forward .. and the world knows it and expects it. Can’t help but wonder, though, what Hugo Chavez will be doing. How much aid will be coming from Fidel Castro and Venezuela’s socialist whack job? Token help, at best. And what about the United Nations? Care to guess whether or not the wonderful U.N.’s efforts will exceed that done by the people of America. Right. Didn’t think so. And the aftermath? Chavez and his ilk will continue to preach their anti-American rhetoric and Central American will continue to bask in its hatred of the United States. The United Nations will continue to work day-after-day on its anti-American agenda. Then … the next time a disaster strikes … we’ll be there, as usual.
This CNN link lists resources you can use to help the people of Haiti. I urge you to chose agencies that are identified with the people of America rather than agencies affiliated with the UN. We can help without strengthening those who revile us.

“Care to guess whether or not the wonderful U.N.’s efforts will exceed that done by the people of America”
Considering we pay something like 1/3 of the dues, I believe, I’d say we’ll be paying indirectly though them.
- tim | 01/13/2010 @ 10:33I’m also wondering how much aid will be forthcoming from all those Western European countries who love to look down their noses at us and talk about how fat, ignorant, stupid, and greedy we must be over here. It’s gotten to the point where I absolutely detest getting into Internet arguments with posters from France, Holland, UK, Germany, etc.
- cylarz | 01/13/2010 @ 12:32After “Chavez and his ilk will continue to preach their anti-American rhetoric and Central American will continue to bask in its hatred of the United States.”
Boortz forgot to add: “And a lot of the Haitians will go right back to hating America as well.” But that would have been insensitive.
- vanderleun | 01/13/2010 @ 14:13China was the first plane to land in Haiti… and waited several hours for the media to get there… to de-plane only once the media arrived to film the fact that THEY were there first… full flags bellowing as saviours. Now, yes – its AWESOME that aid is arriving. But to turn it into a WE GOT HERE FIRST NA NA NA NA NA NAHHHHHH! fiasco… is pathetic.
They need help.
This isn’t a publicity stunt.
And we all should do our part, in whatever capacity we can to help… because it could be us.
And now we need to donate carefully because scam artists are everywhere stealing money where it is needed the most.

And infuriates me to read assholes like Pat Robertson preaching some deranged racist gopel about making a pact with the devil? That man is possessed and it ain’t with holy spirit.
