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...
Proving much of what was in the post previous…don’t miss this fascinating exchange between sidebar resource Ross of Rossputin, and Nancy.
Nancy wants to know Why Women Don’t Run.
The statistics are grimly familiar. Just 24 percent of elected statewide officials and state legislators are women. Only 18 percent of the nation’s governors are women, 16 percent of members of the U.S. Congress and 10 percent of big city mayors. And the reason why, say authors Jennifer L. Lawless and Richard L. Fox, who surveyed thousands of male and female qualified professionals, “There is a substantial gender gap in political ambition; men tend to have it, and women don’t.”
If I informed you that (based on the last data I could find) fewer than 6% of registered nurses are men, would that be “grim”? What about 9% of American elementary school teachers being men? Is that “grimly familiar”?
Nancy responds to Ross, saying…
You also never explain why men aren’t nurses or elementary school teachers, although you imply it’s because they just don’t want to be. But is that because they wouldn’t like the work or because these jobs traditionally have been held by women and therefore are undervalued?
First, the numbers are at their all-time lows; there used to be more men in both fields. Second, the idea that a job is “undervalued” because it’s “traditionally been held by women” strikes me as the same old feminist claptrap without foundation. What do you mean by “undervalued”?
Life imitates art…which was written by me to imitate life in the first place. In Act II, Diana Goddess of Womens’ Lib storms the bridge of the Starship Enterprise, demanding to know why there aren’t more women in positions of authority and power. By Act III, she’s storming a passenger jetliner back in the present time, wanting to know why there aren’t more men in subservient and subordinate positions. After all, there won’t be any room for female jetliner captains if you don’t force some of the existing male captains into early retirement, and bust some of the other ones down to male-stewardess.
It starts out trying to help people, and looking like it’s trying to…not too many pages have to be turned, before suddenly it’s all about destroying people. That’s the reward for all of us, for championing coercion and bullying, placing it on the altar of “You Have To Support It Too”…and calling it “choice.”

‘Women and minorities hardest hit.” Who hasn’t seen that tagline at least a thousand times? Propaganda genius? Perhaps, but the focus is not minorities, but rather to devide white women from their natural means of protection, white men.
Nancy beats the well worn drum of white male oppression with Bolshivic style passion, while completely blind to the necessary basic elements of survival. Surrounded by material comfort and “gee-whiz” technology she claims an imbalance exists, that is “grimly familiar.” To…what…the solgan mentioned above?
From the begining of time, women’s bodies are the first thing looted from the vanquished. Why do you suppose that is? Well…the victors want complete humiliation, and more importantly they seek to burn the seeds of the future.
Malignant narcissists, such as Nancy, believe that snappy prose and big-daddy collectivist government will make them “Safe” from the rape rooms. Hell…some of them see their bedrooms this way.
Tell us, Nancy, when the white guys are all “Disposed Of” what further use will you and your sisters be to the non-white victors that replace them?
