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...
And it’s from the AP. With the snarky dig “promises, promises” right in front of it. All in the headline.
President Barack Obama promised to fix health care and trim the federal budget deficit, all without raising taxes on anyone but the wealthiest Americans. It’s a promise he’s already broken and will likely have to break again.
Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress have already increased tobacco taxes—which disproportionately hit the poor—to pay for extending health coverage to 4 million children in working low-income families.
Now, lawmakers are looking for more revenues to help pay for providing medical insurance to millions more who lack it at a projected cost of $1 trillion over the next decade.
More signs that the honeymoon is nearing an abrupt end, or is already expired:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 30% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –8.
Two weeks ago, or thereabouts, big news was made when this approval index slipped to -2. The record low for it had been -1.
For those three-in-ten still driving around with “Obama Biden ’08” on the bumper sticker, jaws slack, wondering why so many others are scraping off the same vehicular adornment as best they can…when there’s a dash in front of the number, that means it’s getting lower when the number after the dash gets bigger, and that’s called a negative number. Remember when the teacher had you subtract a bigger number from a littler one, and you figured out you couldn’t do it, and just sorta spaced out and stared out the window? This is what she was trying to teach you about.
But hey, that’s a real charismatic Guy breaking all His promises to us. It’s so much fun to watch Him. So that makes it all okay, huh?

It’s not so much that it’s fun to watch HIM, there’s not really much unexpected action going on there, the curiously emboldened on Capital Hill, or the new astonishingly self-righteous in State legislatures, it’s more fun to watch the conspicuous absence of “other” Dems that are apparently on “diplomatic fact-finding” missions outside the realm of their job descriptions, but in warm exotic places.
I think I saw the very last “Yes we can” sticker on a Subaru today. They seem to be disappearing from folks bumpers faster than Edwards lawn banners did when the snow banks finally melted in New Hampshire.
“Independents” and “Moderate” republicans, take note:
