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...
As I become older and more mature, I’m looking at FARK with a whole different perspective. I don’t take quite so much puerile delight in the B.U.F. that permeates the overwhelmingly liberal membership there. The ad hominem attacks they use, the argumentum ad authoritarian, the circular reasoning, the snarky snippets they throw around, and the stark prejudices and biases all these disorders evince, as if any evincing were needed…these all start to bore me.
Aw, who the hell am I kidding.
What better way to spend fifty bones a year. Entertainment, wit, talent, AND you get to watch the widespread destruction of the ability of individuals to think things through logically, on naked display before your very eyes — the single gravest threat to America and the civilized world in the twenty-first century. Scene by scene, act by act. The people who’ve fallen prey to this are not yet ready, willing or able to hide their delusions like our traditional-deluded. They advertise their foolishness. Exuberantly. Jubiliantly. You see, they’re looking for high-fives and pats-on-the-back from their liberal buddies.
Anyway…
…they really hate this. It’s a tongue-in-cheek — kinda sorta — argument about this whole groundhog-day tradition resembling, in a number of ways, the prevailing viewpoint and the amazing control our leftists have come to exert over it.
Punxsutawney Phil is a Left-wing operative
Comparing Leftists to groundhogs actually makes sense
Tom Kovach
February 2, 2007The subject might not be as far-fetched as it seems.
Compare the facts about Groundhog Day, and its famous weather “predictor,” Punxsutawney Phil, with the methods of Left-wing operatives.
1. Punxsutawney Phil suddenly appears on the scene from a “hole” of obscurity. If not for massive promotion by the Left-leaning news media, would anyone have ever heard of Punxsutawney Phil?
How many other connections does he find? More than you think.
Just in case you missed it, and you care — and I doubt both of these — the consensus among the FARK membership is that you should not be reading this, and you will become stupid if you do.
You’ve been warned.
Update: Another thing got a chilly reception there lately: It turns out that yes, soldiers really have been spit-upon by self-righteous hippies. It’s not an urban myth. Whoops, secret’s outta the bag now.
