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...

Napolitano just amazes me. She’s the reason why, when people go on about what an incompetent ditz Sarah Palin is and how it’s so important to keep her out of public service — not only should Napolitano not be allowed near any decisions that actually matter, but neither should they. Nappy is the very picture of a public servant who is bad in every conceivable way. She makes no constructive contribution to anything, other than to try to sell the citizenry to accept a bad status quo. And she can’t even do that.
A security and counter-terrorism plan should, before addressing any other goal,
a) Impose as great a magnitude of difficulty as possible upon a resourceful and determined attacker planning a terrorist-strike event; or
b) Make sure all races, genders, sexual preferences and creeds are exposed to equal levels of inconvenience and danger.
It’s a simple, one-question, two-option test. And this administration consistently chooses the wrong answer. They won’t protect the country. They won’t even tick off anybody until they do their “due diligence” to make sure the right people are getting ticked off…then they’ll jump in with both feet. But outside of that, it seems they have no other goals in mind at all.
I’m loving that revelation at 1:27. There will be an attack, innocent lives will be lost, and we just have to learn to live with it — but no profiling!
Can we at least talk about that system of priorities, maybe discuss it a little bit? Aw, heck no. That’s their job as they see it, to convince people like me that that’s just the way things are and I need to accept it. That, it seems, is their idea of “homeland security.”
These people shouldn’t be trusted to run a flower cart. They’re not there to protect anybody, they just think they’re hog farmers and we’re the hogs.

Yeah, but the good news is that they’re protecting all 57 states.

But this … this one’s fine. Use the news story as a lead-in, and then talk about the real problem, which is that political correctness trumps homeland security with these folks, again and again and again.
