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...
*sigh*. SFist, via Gateway Pundit, by way of Fox News.
Not to get all hippie-preachy or anything, but this is kind of an offensive amount of trash, right? Do normal and reasonable human beings not look at that mess and say, “…maybe we ought to like, I don’t know? Take some of this trash with us? To a trash can?” or “Maybe we should bring that coffee table back home?” We’ve seen our share of litter-y days in Dolores Park and some embarrassing trash pileups in Golden Gate Park, but leaving actual pieces of living room furniture is a whole new level of prickish park use.
“Those trash picker guys are going to be stoked about this!” was one justification we heard for the mess. We tried to get someone from the neighborhood recycling center on the phone to settle that bet, but they are unfortunately not open on Sundays, so we’ll have to follow up on that later.
Looks like the SF online resource is none to pleased with people blaming this on “activists.” Mmmm…yeah, after mulling it over, I think I’m going to go out on a limb and call that one. There is drawing reasonable conclusions about things and then there is “fabricating.” Those are two different things, ya know.

This picture looks like the scene at the end of “Wayne’s World 2,” the part where a VW bus drives off following the impromptu Aerosmith concert…and the occupants dump a bag of garbage out the door of the moving vehicle as it is leaving the area. And the Indian cries…and Wayne and Garth reassure him that they’ll clean up the mess themselves. And proceed to do so…without any help whatsoever from the people who actually made the mess. Frankly I think this mess is a metaphor for the Left in general – party like an animal, screw the results. Let someone else (a more responsible someone else) deal with the fallout. Not our problem.
I think what amuses me about scenes like this, is the reaction to it by the liberal trolls, especially over on blogs like Right Wing News.
You know? The ones who insist that the trash is there because “there weren’t enough trash cans” and pretend to be unable to see a difference or distinction between Tea Party rallies (where trash has been gathered up and neatly stacked or piled around the overflowing cans and dumpsters) versus gatherings of Occuipers/Greenpeace/PETA/insertliberalgrouphere….where it’s simply thrown about like in the scene pictured above. Even when such trolls have this difference in behavior patiently explained to them, they still don’t seem to recognize the fundamental difference in attitude.
You’re right about one other thing – the coffee table is definitely a new low. That’s a new one.
