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...
Even though, for twenty years or more, I’ve had all sorts of Jimmy Carter fans getting in my face, raising & simultaneously answering that very question. To be filed under “Questions Nobody Was Asking.”
And now, O.B.E.P. (Our Best Ex-President) is leaping up to the podium and grabbing that trophy for himself.
What a stupid statement to make. What a stupid question. Who’s your favorite President — probably Lincoln or Washington, right? Washington doesn’t impress me as a good ex-President at all. Lincoln was even worse!
It’d be nice to have a President who served capably enough, that nobody gave a rat’s ass whether he was a good ex- or not. Carter’s successor, arguably, managed to achieve that. To bad Carter didn’t.
I’ll give Jimmy this much: The day he started being our ex-President, he became something a lot of people had been wanting to see him become.

Carter is, of course, concerned about his legacy. It is a little late to start banging your own drum now. He tried to rehabilitate his image by writing books nobody wanted to read but that didn’t work. If he had confined himself to Habitat for Humanity even his harshest critics would give him some credit for that. Alas, he’s not that smart.
The 60 Minutes profile was very interesting. They praised him for getting more of his agenda passed than any other modern President. This is apparently the benchmark of success. What the ignored was precisely what effect those disastrous policies had on America.
