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...
Rick links to something that reminds me, once again, that there are opinions that are wrong according to subjective notions of logic and decency…and then…there are other opinions that are simply not legitimate opinions to have. It therefore necessarily follows that there are debates that are reasonable and there are other debates that are silly. The debate about whether or not to elect Obama as our next Commander in Chief — nobody ever said that was a reasonable debate to have, and you shouldn’t wait around for anyone to say so either.
It’s about time a Republican said it
And why not Sarah the Barracuda?
Palin told Carl that she was “annoyed” at some of the interviews she has done, “Ok I’ll tell you honestly the Sarah Palin in those interviews is a little bit annoyed because it’s man no matter what you say you are going to get clobbered. If you choose to answer a question you are going to get clobbered on the answer,” Palin said. “If you choose to try and pivot and go on to another subject that you believe that Americans want to hear about you get clobbered for that too.”
She then aimed to defend herself for some of the criticism she got for the Couric interview. She was blasted for not answering Couric’s question on any of the periodicals she reads or even a Supreme Court decision that she disagreed with. She defended some of the circular answers she gave the CBS anchor saying that she did not get to cover some of the topics she saw as important, “But in those Katie Couric interviews I did feel that there were a lot of things that she was missing in terms of an opportunity to ask what a V.P. candidate stands for. What the values are represented in our ticket. I wanted to talk about Barack Obama increasing taxes, which would lead to killing jobs. I wanted to talk about his proposal to increase government spending by another trillion dollars.”
She then slammed Barack Obama calling him disqualified to be President of the United States, “Some of his comments that he has made about the war that I think may — in my world — disqualifies someone from consideration as the next commander in chief.” Palin said, “Some of his comments about Afghanistan and what we are doing there supposedly — just air raiding villages and killing civilians. That’s reckless.
I hope like hell the McCain campaign is setting her free and that they won’t attempt to muzzle comments like this.
She is woman, hear her roar.
The bold is my (mkf) emphasis.
I’ve been seeing this go on for a very long time now. The liberal-democrat-moonbat wing, it seems, enjoys a complete monopoly in declaring what opinions are legitimate ones to have. Conservatives and Republicans end up busying themselves with disagreements over what is right. It’s a huge mistake to make.
Look what’s happening in the theater of what’s legitimate and what’s not. George Bush has done some good things; that’s not a legitimate opinion to have anymore. Forget about debating whether it is correct. Global warming is man made, or we are certain it is man made, or the “science is settled” that it’s man made — ditto. There’s only one legitimate opinion you can have about that now, and it’s the one the eco-terrorists want you to have. If you’ve got a different one, and you run for a high public office, it’ll be a pretty short run.
Barack Obama would make a better President than John McCain…we’re debating whether that’s correct. The election in November will be all about whether that’s correct. It’s the wrong debate to have. We should be debating whether it’s even legitimate, because it isn’t. Palin nailed it. Obama’s positions, some of ’em are quite plain and simply reckless. It’s dangerous to even think about putting someone in the White House who has those views. Such ideas deserve to be marginalized. Gutterballed. Just like the view that “climate change” is a natural phenomenon, whch actually enjoys a better than adequate foundation of supporting scientific evidence, has been marginalized. Exactly like that.
