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...
Man, I’m really glad I never came out & supported this guy.
I saw his picture in the dictionary the other day. I think the word I was looking up was “kaput.”
Huck PAC, Mike Huckabee’s political action committee, released a statement Sunday night about the slaying of four police officers in Pierce County. When Huckabee was Arkansas governor he commuted the sentence of the person of interest in the case.
The statement says:
The senseless and savage execution of police officers in Washington State has saddened the nation, and early reports indicate that a person of interest is a repeat offender who once lived in Arkansas and was wanted on outstanding warrants here and in Washington State. The murder of any individual is a profound tragedy, but the murder of a police officer is the worst of all murders in that it is an assault on every citizen and the laws we live within.
Should he be found to be responsible for this horrible tragedy, it will be the result of a series of failures in the criminal justice system in both Arkansas and Washington State. He was recommended for and received a commutation of his original sentence from 1990, this commutation made him parole eligible and he was then paroled by the parole board once they determined he met the conditions at that time. He was arrested later for parole violation and taken back to prison to serve his full term, but prosecutors dropped the charges that would have held him. It appears that he has continued to have a string of criminal and psychotic behavior but was not kept incarcerated by either state. This is a horrible and tragic event and if found and convicted the offender should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Our thoughts and prayers are and should be with the families of those honorable, brave, and heroic police officers.

What an absurd statement for Huckabee to make. He blames everyone but himself, the person ultimately responsible for releasing this man back into society. The buck stopped with him, and he blew it.
My prayers are with the families who are suffering because of a predator who should never have seen the light of day.

You didn’t endorse Huckabee because you have good instincts. As governor of Arkansas he was a huckster from the get-go. He worked for the corporations in Arkansas to help them attract and recruit illegal immigrants. He looked the other way when Walmart encouraged the creation of store maintenance companies to clean stores at night and stock shelves even though Huckster knew those newly created entities were using illegal aliens. To facilitate that scurrilous activity Huckster went to Mexico and asked el Presidente Vicente Fox to establish an embassy in Little Rock so the illegals would have assistance for remittances and to get Mexican issued ID.
But worse were the pardons and clemencies, as the cop killer case illustrates. Huckabee always cited his religious conviction as the reason for granting pardons.
We need an Amendment to the Constitution: When a pious asshole executes an official act and cites religion as justification, the bastards should immediately be boiled in oil.
Here‘s a year-old video of the huckster in action. Here’s a list showing the company he keeps, and here’s a score card of his release of criminals from Arkansas prisons.
