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...
Melissa Clouthier is making sense.
So let me get this straight.
Stupid regulations by Democrats cause the banking crisis. Banks tank on bad debt that was required by stupid regulations by Democrats. Banks “saved” by being owned by the government with tax payer dollars. Banks pay back money, because, surprise!, government is a harsh task-master. Government blames the bankers for….fulfilling their obligation. Then, President Obama tells bankers to make more loans….probably to the very people who couldn’t afford loans to begin with.
How about the government minds their own damn business? How about banks giving money to good risks? How about people and businesses taking on responsible, minimal debt?
The democrat party seems to have gotten ahold of some polling data — or maybe they just pulled it out of their asses, right after the fudged-up climate change “data” — that say the public has forgotten all about the Community Reinvestment Act, or never knew about it in the first place.
Ever week it seems I hear out of a democrat cakehole this tired old trope about “greedy fatcat bankers that caused this recession in the first place.” Funny thing is, as Melissa points out it is true. The regulations put in place by Jimmy and Bubba required them to cause a recession by lending to non-credit-worthy individuals, and forget all about the consequential risk, and they dutifully followed those steps to cause our current recession…
So maybe He should be calling them “greedy compliant fatcat bankers.”

- wch | 12/15/2009 @ 14:01It’s all part of the plan, Morgan. They mix in just enough socialism to completely adulterate, pervert, and contaminate capitalism, then announce that capitalism has failed. You’ve nailed this on many occasions. It’s frustrating to watch the corn-fed porkers on Capitol Hill and the talking heads in the media…and even more frustrating to watch millions of people eat this crap up with a spoon. People who should know better.
Don’t we have the Internet now? Aren’t we privy to what happens in countries where this institution and that one is nationalized (and eventually ruined)? There’s no excuse for people letting government regulators get away with this crap.
