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...
ATTENTION LEATHERNECKS:
I cannot fully explain the doctrines under which the 110th Congress was just elected. It seems to me, and I know of no hard evidence to directly contradict this, that our last elections were conducted under the following auspices:
The Jean-Luc Picard paradigm is all-knowing. When two factions or forces aligned with different or oppositional interests face off, one of them malevolent, one not, the malevolent entity will yield to the cognitions and values of it’s counterpart. In short, the warrior will follow the superior example of the peacemaker. Always. You can end war forever…simply by making a unilateral decision not to fight it.
Such a doctrine must necessarily declare the United States Marines, ultimately, to be useless.
Well, you’re not useless. We owe our lives and our freedoms to the United States fighting forces, and especially, to you.
Happy birthday.
How does this all square with our new make-love-not-war Congress? I don’t know. You’ll have to ask the fuckheads who voted them in. Or…stayed home, to allow it to happen.
Real Americans stand behind you, with a support that is, in the words of Commandant M. W. Hagee, “unconditional and firm” (PDF). We understand your mission is a necessary one, and we are thankful you are there to see it through to the end. And be back for the next one. Happy 231st!
