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...
Via MyPetJawa. The old guy still has some life left in him.
I hope someone in South Carolina is regretting their boneheaded mistake, and if they can’t recognize they made one, I don’t very much care. This is what we need:
In reading the majority opinion I am struck by the utter waste that is involved here. No, not the waste of military resources and human life, although such a result is tragically obvious. I refer to the waste of all those years these justices spent in law school studying how adherence to legal precedent is the bedrock of the rule of law, when it turns out, all they really needed was a Pew poll, a subscription to the New York Times, and the latest edition of “How to Make War for Dummies.”
God bless you, Fred. If you’re done with that stupid race for good, maybe someone else woven from your fabric will pick the banner next time around.

Yes. Yes he does. I’d be so, so happy to vote for the man for President.
I was listening to a talk show I don’t normally hear today in my car. We can’t forget that there are a good bunch of conservatives concerned about the habeas corpus thing, too.
But the thing that I get from both sides … from the people who applaud this decision … is they keep going back to how important habeas corpus is, and completely ignoring where it has traditionally not applied. Such as, POW’s.
Matter of fact, I understand we held 400,000 POWs here on American soil, not leased Cuban soil … in WWII.
The idea that the Bush administration has done anything differently than any othe wartime president is … for the Left it is bitterness over the 2000 election. For the extreme right, it’s paranoia and a lpse in reason.
Now don’t get me wrong. I totally dig on the habeas corpus thing.
Just doesn’t work for me on POW’s. I don’t think it’s ever worked for anyone else on POW’s, either.
