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...
Some Saturday evening Fox talky-news panel was sitting around a big table, and someone noticed exactly what I’d been noticing. Are we the only two who’ve seen this? Here, I’ll just condense the conversation…
Sarah Palin: Obama’s health plan has “death panels!”
Mainstream Media “Fact Checkers”: Stupid lipstick fish-breath hockey-mom tundra dimbulb hussy! That’s a myth!
Liberals: Yeah, you don’t know what you’re talking about! Uh…excuse us while we make some quick edits to this legislation…
Obama: Folks have been bearing false witness, saying the new health care bill will require coverage for illegal immigrants. This is NOT TRUE.
Congressman Joe Wilson: You lie!!!
Liberals: OMGWTF! Blah blah blah sacred decorum blah blah blah fractured the solemn atmosphere of the blah blah blah formal proceeding blah blah blah Republicans acting immature blah blah over the line.
Mainstream Fact Checkers: Obama told the truth! Wilson is the liar!
Liberals: Yeah! Uh…that eraser we returned to you? We need to borrow it again…
I suppose this could be characterized as democracy in action — the left-wingers who are in charge right now, are figuring out what is not acceptable to the public. Their ability to anticipate this has been vastly overstated, and to their credit, they understand this and are compensating for it.
I would humbly suggest that as they engage in this necessary alignment with the public’s expectations and desires, they cease and desist from calling people liars and ignoramuses who are, in fact, not lying and do, in fact, know more about the subjects that have captured their passions than we are being at first told. Erase and modify at the eleventh hour to your heart’s content, but put a damper on the false accusations. Just a friendly tip.

Oh, and by the way, the “mainstream media fact checkers” could start reporting the truth…
