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...
…from interfering with individual freedoms and individual choice.
That is, for members of the dependency class:
From IJ Review…which links to a Washington Post story about 47 million Americans being on food stamps.
There must be a principle behind this. It would be hard to oppose the proposal based on practical considerations, wouldn’t it? People who rely on food stamps have some cash here or there; and, junk is cheap. Oreos are cheap. If there is a principle involved, it somehow applies to the dependency class but not to the school kids. What is it, that it’s appropriate to tell kids what to do but not appropriate to tell grown-ups what to do?
Then how come these are the people telling me what light bulbs I can & can’t buy?
It seems, from what I can glean out of this, that there is a rule in place that says something like: “‘Freedom’ is for democrats” or “‘Freedom’ is for people who don’t work.” People who pay, aren’t supposed to choose, and people who don’t pay, get to choose.
Yet more strange, surreal “rights” being imagined and cobbled-together, but never ever defined, by our political party of graft, dependency, obfuscation and “Fuck you I want my num nums.”

- bernn | 10/24/2014 @ 08:01Some folks are familiar with the word freedom. But not callouses, nor logic puzzles.
- CaptDMO | 10/24/2014 @ 13:20Some folks are NOT familiar with the word burden. Onus, volunteer, philanthropist, investment, blister, taxes, and “Noblesse oblige”, are just…you know…..high faloutin’, dog whistle, code speak, by folks “above” the limitations of the “free” public school sphere.
Nor does mere “rich” afford access to such vocabulary, nor does “access” to such vocabulary bestow freedom.
Aesop’s Fables (et alia) covers all this, ideally even BEFORE the first sniff of the current “organized education industrial complex”.
I could be wrong.
