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...
Daphne is feeling homeowner pains.
I can’t believe that, in one year’s time, this is exactly where I’m going to be sitting if everything goes well. I’ve sat out this game for a long time now, mostly because of a wretched mistake I made in my early twenties, but now that we’re forty-something apartment rats it’s time to get on the stick and get back into the swing of things. The only way out is through.
But oh my goodness, does this rant of hers bring back some memories.

The only good thing about my house is that it will be paid for in 10 yrs. I’ll be eating cat food by then…but still, it’ll be mine, all mine. After new siding, a roof, furnace, driveway, bathroom, kitchen…
Did I mention I live in the highest taxed county in the COUNTRY…and I use to have a large bank account…and use to take vacations…and didn’t spend EVERY freakin’ weekend doing yard work or repairs/improvements…
Investment my ASS!!! My retirement account belongs to the bank, the state and Home Depot. Looking forward to getting back into an apartment and maybe I can start thinking about taking it easy when I’m @ 100 yrs. old.
Tread lightly, Morgan, very, very lightly.
“Little pink houses for you and me…”
- tim | 05/13/2010 @ 10:05As a former resident of said county… I can relate, Small-Tee. My frickin’ property taxes in Monroe county were more than the combined annual sum of my house payments AND property taxes on my first house. I shit thee NOT. Granted, it was a nice house. But still…
I can only imagine what California property taxes will be like in the coming years, Prop 19 (it is 19, right?) or no. Like Small-Tee sez, Morgan… be careful. I’d consider moving to Tejas before I bought, were I you. Just sayin’.
- bpenni | 05/13/2010 @ 10:46It’s Prop. 13, and the legislature is trying every trick in the book to get around it.
Califirnia will see the last of me as soon as my kid graduates high school. Taxes will HAVE to increase to pay all the union thugs pensions.
Buh-bye Cali., it was nice while it lasted…
