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...
San Francisco’s big push for low-flow toilets has turned into a multimillion-dollar plumbing stink.
Skimping on toilet water has resulted in more sludge backing up inside the sewer pipes, said Tyrone Jue, spokesman for the city Public Utilities Commission. That has created a rotten-egg stench near AT&T Park and elsewhere, especially during the dry summer months.
The city has already spent $100 million over the past five years to upgrade its sewer system and sewage plants, in part to combat the odor problem.
Now officials are stocking up on a $14 million, three-year supply of highly concentrated sodium hypochlorite – better known as bleach – to act as an odor eater and to disinfect the city’s treated water before it’s dumped into the bay. It will also be used to sanitize drinking water.
That translates into 8.5 million pounds of bleach either being poured down city drains or into the drinking water supply every year.
The perils that are visited upon us when we never, never, ever tell the tree-hugging hippies “no.” Now, we have to provide our proper stewardship to the planet, the only one we have, Mother Earth, by pouring bleach into the system.
Something’s not quite getting thunk out all the way here, fellas.
Another hat tip to Kate at Small Dead Animals.

you have to give it to the libs, never can they think past tomorrow. Why is it their policies/ideas create bigger problems than what they were trying to solve?

Because they’re not actually “policies” at all. They’re gestures. Liberal “policymaking” is basically confession for atheists — they make a big show about how much we have sinned, and then their priests in the media give them absolution by printing up fawning profiles about how much they “care,” and then everyone pats themselves on the back and moves on to the next thing.
If they actually cared even the teeniest tiniest amount about anything they legislate on, they’d be at least somewhat concerned about the results. But pick a liberal program, any liberal program. Not a single liberal “idea” has worked in the modern era. They’re oh-for-however many, and this bothers them not one whit. We now have several phonebook-sized reams of data showing that the “War on Poverty,” for example, didn’t work (and actually made things much worse), but you could clock a liberal over the head with it until you collapsed from exhaustion and it wouldn’t faze them in the slightest. In fact, sheer dumb luck should’ve wised at least one liberal up to at least one failure at least once. It’s nearly a mathematical certainty…. unless they never cared at all in the first place.
I still maintain that what America really needs is a good old fashioned flagellant movement. That way all the Code Pinkoes, MoveOn dot Orgers, Sierra Clubbers, Dirt Firsters, etc. etc. could wail and gnash their teeth and make a giant freakin’ public spectacle out of their incandescent self-righteousness — which is pretty much the whole point of such organizations — while the rest of us got on with making stuff and fixing stuff and being generally productive citizens.
