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...
Fact and opinion, which we call Pillar I and Pillar II. What you know, and what you’ve concluded about what you know.
Obama’s gripe with Fox News is with the opinion and commentary shows, not the news shows. It might be nice if someone would sit The Community Organizer down and try to explain to him the difference between news and opinion. Hey, PrezBO .. you’re never too old to learn!
That’s gonna leave a mark.
Do you suppose it’s just that simple, that Obama doesn’t know the difference between news reporting and editorializing…because He doesn’t understand the difference between objective and subjective truth?
He does talk that way much of the time. “I just think…” “It seems to me…” “We can’t…” “We’ve got to…” Much of the time, His words reveal the carefree world of lightweight thinkers, in which thoughts are simply — thoughts. In such a world of marshmallow clouds, talking unicorns and candy rainbows, you don’t assemble a thought from something else, they just kinda pop into your head.
That would explain Afghanistan. Maybe He doesn’t have some crafty master plan, maybe He’s just waiting for a thought to pop into His head, and it hasn’t popped just yet.

You may be on to something. I mean … it is sort of a progressive trait. What you mean to happen is what’s important, not the actual real-world impact of what you do.
You can always blame that on somebody else when it happens.
So it’s fine to just plow ahead with your opinions and treat them as facts. And when news organizations echo your opinions, well, see, they’re obviously facts. And if they don’t, they’re obviously Lies™.
