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...
Just as I got done exploring liberal morality…
…from Gerard‘s sidebar (specifically, the “NailsIt File”), I learn about an amazing triple-play of essays on liberal strategy.
The money quote (so far) is from the second installment, which has a nice dovetailing with my own screed from a few minutes ago about excessive comfort…
For example, poverty in America has been redefined as the lack of a flat screen TV or cable television. When our poorest children often are wearing $150 sneakers, poverty in America has lost some of its meaning. The latest sign of poverty is lack of wide band Internet, a problem for which some liberals have suggested government intervention, paid for by those who are not so impoverished.
Furthermore, in the most dangerous excess of modern liberalism, in a sleight of hand verbal ju jitsu tour de force, the modern liberal has redefined human rights to include complete security and comfort; modern rights include the right to the kinds of comfort which is all they have ever been accustomed to.
Since comfort has now become established as a human right, the right not to be discomfited has become entrenched in modern liberal thinking.
