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...
MediaIte via Confederate Yankee:
Today in United States v. Rod Blagojevich: following up on his 2008 claims that then-Senator Barack Obama was one of a few people who could testify to his innocence, his defense team issued a motion today to subpoena the President to testify in court. Most of the juiciest bits involving Obama’s role in choosing a new Senator are blacked out, or so we thought. It turns out a lucky PDF glitch gave us VIP access. Who wouldn’t want to see the blacked out part? Let’s investigate!
In sum, it’s “not a particularly damning conversation.” But it could be the tip of the tail of a very large brontosaurus. And, the evidence on the basis of just this, at least strongly suggests the President told a fibber. Not a “you’ll never see your taxes go up by one dime if you make less than 200k” fibber, but one of the bad ones, where you’re really, really not supposed to get caught.
Which brings up another thing that the evidence strongly suggests. This came out of yet another improperly redacted PDF file. I think it’s a little unfair to saddle Holy One with the technological ineptitude of every li’l government employee, but it kind of puts a damper on the whole “modern new tech-savvy administration” parade we were “all” supposed to have been throwing.
Come to think of it, where did the tech-savvy reputation come from anyway? Barack Obama has an iPod? Something tells me that particular historical item is not going to age well.

Let me be perfectly clear, uh…Mr. Freeberg, what I’ve said from the beginning, uh…what I’ve always said is that I…uh…never lie. No, what I do…uh… occasionally is…is…is, misrepresent the truth as you know it.
Let’s stop with the dangerous, partisan rhetoric. It’s not helping…uh, as we try to fundamentally transform this country.
Ya’ racist, gun owning, tea bagging…hater.
