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...
Heavy Crap
Nobody ever reads this blog, of course, but when people do, they’re not in the mood for heavy crap on a weekend. So I’ll pass on commenting on these…until, like, maybe, Sunday night or something. But they look like things I don’t want to lose entirely.
Remember, the “innernets” is not a library, it’s a superhighway. Libraries stand still. Actually, it’s more like a river, with bits of driftwood drifting on by…drifting on by, forever.
I have questions about Common Article 2 of the Geneva Conventions, and how it pertains to the The Hamdan v. Rumsfeld decision. Even after reading the decision.
Why Bush’s interrogation plan will deliver what he says and why it�s a cost we can’t afford to pay.
Vice President Cheney is hard at work quashing dissent, or is he? He is to be chastised for this, says the prevailing viewpoint.
House Majority Leader John Boehner says, “I listen to my Democratic friends, and I wonder if they are more interested in protecting the terrorists than protecting the American people.” He, too, is to be chastised for this.
Looking over all this heavy crap that surfaces from the depths of the rushing river on a Friday night, I see a common thread: Very few people shy away from a dialog, but many amongst us seem to want to start a monolog: This is the way it is, and thou shalt not disagree with me. If you do, you threaten to end America.
And among those, only conservatives get crap flung in their direction for doing this. Liberals can do it all day and all night, nobody calls them on it. Vice President Cheney says, the terrorists are fighting a propaganda war as well as a physical confrontation…and a whole chorus of voices figures, if they let this pass without comment, they’ll get some kind of membership card taken away or something.
But those who attack the Vice President, do so by using exactly the same logic he’s using when they show the Bush administration as some kind of threat to our freedoms…the way the VP shows the terrorists to be a threat to same. It’s the same logic, just being pointed in different directions.
So it’s interesting, to me, that the “prevailing viewpoint” allows one side to get away with it, and not the other. Must be a lot of people watching movies like this lately.
