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...
Mineta STWF’d
Instapundit has a write-up on Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta getting STWF’d. We like to use the four-letter acronym of STWF, since August 15 when I explained why, to describe high-level official who are leaving to Spend Time With the Family. Because, you know, at that level nobody ever gets just-plain-fired.
About God-damned time. Mineta is a nut, and every day he served in that capacity is an embarrassment to the Bush administration. President Bush built up a huge reserve of credibility with me, by simply having the balls to say Saddam’s gotta go, and sticking with the decision. And, I’d say by simply tolerating Mineta’s wombat-rabies bollywonkers crazy utterances about racial profiling, President Bush spent about three-quarters of what he’d built up.
Norm represents something that is extremely broken in our society, to me, anyway. His heightened sensibilities about the internment of the Japanese-Americans during World War II, had a lot to do with his antipathy about profiling and anything that might possibly resemble same. And yet, I’ll bet some good money that this fucker would be first in line to nominate Franklin D. Roosevelt, Mister Japanese Internment himself, as one of our finest Presidents. Certainly, I’ve never heard Mineta utter an unkind word against the guy. Why, oh why, may I ask, is Japanese Internment something “we” did wrong, and not something that some racist President did individually? History strongly supports the latter of those suppositions over the former.
Like I’ve been saying for years, if you’re really sorry about this awful thing “we” did, and want to pay homage to our renewed commitment to never doing anything like it again…and I think that’s a great idea…put Ulysses Grant’s face on the dime. Otherwise, it can be said that we elected a President four times who locked people up for the color of their skin, and we love him to pieces because we got him on our money. Because we did. And we do.
But I digress. Ding, dong, the witch is dead. Don’t let the doorknob hit you in the ass, Norm.
