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...
Waiting for the separation-of-church-n-state crowd to pipe up on this one…but not holding my breath.
The 5:20 TBA turned out to be his adoration session with lawmakers in the Cannon Caucus Room, where even committee chairmen arrived early, as if for the State of the Union. Capitol Police cleared the halls — just as they do for the actual president. The Secret Service hustled him in through a side door — just as they do for the actual president.
Inside, according to a witness, he told the House members, “This is the moment . . . that the world is waiting for,” adding: “I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions.”

I’m going to win that $100 and a steak dinner in 2012 when Obama becomes a one-termer. I’m sure of it now. These nasty rumors flying around…that someone in Obama’s camp figured out “Hey, we’d better damn well knock off this Messiah bullshit right now.” Those rumors may very well be true. Someone may very well have pulled their heads outta their asses and put a voice beside what is obvious. It could’ve happened…
…but if so, it’s not having any effect whatsoever. It’s The Symbol. He just can’t stop Himself.
We’re going to have four years of this, and not get a little bit tired of it?
I’m going to look up some steak restaurants right now.

If he has become a symbol, then I guess that puts him roughly on a level with Prince (the artist formerly known as)? A bit generous, perhaps, but not completely inaccurate. Androgynous performer with a cult following.

Androgynous? Cummon Andy, you can do better than that.

However, unless something’s happened since then to teach Him some humility…or the case can be made that He never really meant it…the point about His incredible narcissism, stands.
- mkfreeberg | 04/08/2009 @ 13:12Sorry, memphisto. I can’t spend my ENTIRE workday being witty. Sometimes I disappoint.
Morgan, as far as steakhouses go, I am a huge fan of Morton’s. I don’t know how much you are expecting the buyer to spend, but you can’t go wrong there.
- Andy | 04/08/2009 @ 13:29That particular wager is with JohnJ who comments around here semi-often; and it’s already been settled as a Ruth’s Chris.
I’ve heard absolutely rave reviews, but I’m pretty sure it’ll taste much better if it’s on John’s dime. To both of us.
