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...
That’s two in a row. Here’s the one from earlier this week:
Rick Perry, dropping out, endorses Gingrich.
“I believe Newt is a conservative visionary who can transform our country. We’ve had our differences, which campaigns will inevitably have, and Newt is not perfect, but who among us is?” Perry said at a press conference in Charleston, South Carolina.
Mittens is about to snag this thing. It’s a very critical time. And once again, Sarah Palin is right:
We need this thing to drag on longer. That may not change how things shake out in terms of who the nominee will be, but it has a big effect on what kind of pressures are brought to bear, and what sort of message that nominee carries into the general election.
And say what you want about Newt, but it’s a good message. There is a consistent theme here of talking back to certain people and forces that haven’t been resisted in any meaningful way up until now, and have long had it coming.
Look who’s been making it into the highest offices. Do we really need a tell-all interview from a previous wife to become part of the process? Last I checked, people on both sides of the partisan divide were still ticked off and annoyed that Bill Clinton’s affair became a matter for an impeachment trial…well…looks to me like people are ticked off and annoyed by that, in the same way that people refuse to read the National Enquirer. As in, if it were true, things wouldn’t be happening that are, in fact, happening.
Thus ends the kingmaker career of Marianne Gingrich. Bet she’s pleased. Well done, Newt.

Character mattered then, character mattered now.
Get this straight, I’d vote for Newt before I’d vote for Obama… but Newt’s personal life and behavior towards the woman he married makes him the absolute dead last person I’d choose to run for president. His own WIFE could never trust him. What makes you, Joe Blow Anonymous Voter, think you can trust him more?
And his personal life shows through in his political life. Just like with his marriage, he puts on a good show and makes a good speech– but his actual political activity consists of a general “me-too” ism and spotlight stealing. He’s the John Hancock of the modern Republican party: known solely for his flamboyant signature than for his actual contributions. that is not enough to make him a good president.
Hold your nose and pull the lever, folks. The Republican party doesn’t give a damn about you, but it least it isn’t actively trying to KILL you.
