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...
It’s become an “Everyone Else Is Blogging It, I Might As Well Do It Too” thing. I could offer the hat tip to many others, but I’ll give it to Buck because I think he’s put some real quality thought (as have I) into this issue of when, why, and how much to ply our loyalty onto the presuptive Republican nominee, and how much to hold back, & why to do that.
We do not see eye-to-eye on this. And on that disagreement, I’ve tried to remain surgical-precise in my comments because there are things about McCain’s character that I do not understand. In politics, I’m convinced he has a passion for cobbling together alliances that borders on the jaundiced. We’ve probably said quite enough about that.
Personal-wise, I’m gonna have to go ahead and agree, this is a man of exceptionally strong character. In these war stories, as well as his personal life, there has been episode after episode after episode in which McCain could have benefited greatly from tooting his own horn, so to speak — and chose not to do so. This speaks well for him.
And Fred, to repeat what others have asked. Gotta ask the question, bud…where was all this fire-in-belly back in January? Could have changed history, for the better. You ARE the change we seek.

“where was all this fire-in-belly back in January? Could have changed history, for the better. You ARE the change we seek.”
It’s a lot easier to speak about someone else rather than yourself. It speaks well of Fred that he’s not so comfortable pontificating about himself.
“Could have changed history, for the better. You ARE the change we seek.”
We’ll never know, maybe, maybe not. He could have been a disaster and McCain may end up being a fine president. Just saying, these things don’t always turn out the way we think they will.
Now, let it go Morgan, let it go… 😉
- tim | 09/03/2008 @ 13:51Around here, this morning, you’ll only find others who want to surround Poor Morgie with the horseshoe arrangement and let you kick ’em. But the innernets is a big place, and others go further than me…with things like “Thompson/Palin, now there would’ve been a ticket”.
I mean, if I’m giving folks headaches that’s bound to bust a goiter or something.
I’ve said my piece, and will now clamber aboard the bandwagon in silence.

Morgan, you know I’m with you on Thompson.
I’ve gotta say, though, that speech had me in … yeah … tears at a couple of points. Not big sobby crocodile ones, but what the hell is this water in my eyes ones, anyway.
That was good. I got my reservations as well. But especially with Palin as a team mate on fighting corruption and pork, and drilling here and now, I can see this is the way we need to go for now. We can ride in the same boat with him for a while without necessarily sharing the excact destination he’s headed for.
‘Cause the other guys’ out to scuttle the ship.
- philmon | 09/03/2008 @ 15:28Thanks for the nod, Morgan. It should go without sayin’, but I’ll say it anyway: I respect your POV… always have, always will. You might remember I was a Giuliani supporter once upon a time. I still kinda wish he’d have gotten The Nod. But… had he been successful… Wow! The fireworks that could have been between you and I! 😉
