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...
“I feel obliged to take maybe one question from the Korean press — since you guys have been such excellent hosts,” Obama said, after answering a string of questions from White House reporters during his post-G-20 summit news conference.
“Anybody?” the president said, searching the audience.
It was an unusual move for Obama, who usually reads from a predetermined list of reporters to call on at news conferences. Plus his aides had already given him a clear signal to wrap it up. But he found a taker, and for a moment it seemed the risks of calling on a reporter at random might bear fruit.
“This gentleman right here — he’s got his hand up,” Obama said. “He’s the only one who took me up on it. Go ahead. And I’ll probably need a translation, though, if you’re asking the question in Korean. In fact, I definitely will need a translation.”
“Unfortunately, I hate to disappoint you, President Obama, I’m actually Chinese,” the reporter said.
I’m with the Missouri Megamom on this. The first few times the person in that office proves Himself unworthy of being there, it’s a chuckle and a groan mixed together. Second time, the chuckle is gone. Then He does it a few more times, and more times, and then He has no more popularity than the guy who was in that office before. Then, He does it a few more times.
There is an old saying about political leaders: “If (blank) was the answer, it must have been a pretty stupid question.” It’s awfully funny, you know…all these opinions drifting around this way and that about Republicans and democrats, but not a soul to be found who’s willing to say “That season of 2008, where we picked out our President that one time? That worked really well. That’s the way we want to pick ’em. That was a model campaign. We need to choose our presidents that way from now on, that’s how we want it to go.”
Interesting.
I wonder if Air Force One would have buzz-bombed Manhattan in a Palin administration. Any takers on that one?

Just imagine if Sarah Palin had made that assumption. 🙂

- cylarz | 11/15/2010 @ 01:29Take careful note of how often this egregious idiocy occurs after the phrase “You guys.”
Instantaneous tipoff.
