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...
Hat tip to Zeta Woof.
Dana Milbank writes in the Washington Post:
It sounds tailor-made for a GOP ad:
Unemployment hits 9.4 percent. President Obama flies to France.
Joblessness reaches 9.7 percent. Obama jets off to Denmark.
The rate of those out of work soars to 10.2 percent. Obama packs his bags for Japan, Singapore, China and South Korea.
Faced with the worst domestic economy in decades, the president has responded — by setting a record for foreign travel. An Asian swing that began Thursday will bring his total this year to 20 countries in eight trips, according to CBS News’s Mark Knoller, official statistician of the White House press corps.
A few years ago Lee Iacocca wrote a book lamenting about the leaders, they’ve all gone somewhere, where are they? He heralded the publication of this book with some well-placed columns that bleated things like “Are you as honked off as I am? Where in the hell is the outrage?”
The old boy hasn’t got much to say lately, except to occasionally chirp out how wonderful and charismatic the current crew is and how much hope they are capable of inspiring. Yup, the solution to not-having-money might very well be to spend lots of money, if you make such a decision with enough flair and you’re sufficiently fun to watch while you’re making it.
Every now and then a left-winger will follow one of my smarmy comments on another blog to my home page…which takes them here…and the first thing they see is a mock-up of Sarah Palin in Supergirl hot pants. “Credibility GONE!!!” is the predictable condemnation…which I take as a compliment…gee, maybe tomorrow I can be Olbermann’s Worst Person in the World.
But these are precisely my thoughts about Lee Iacocca. Credibility gone. Where in the hell is the outrage? Was there any better time in the last twenty years to ask such a question than right now? Dana Milbank says current events are almost a ready-made GOP commercial. This has been going on all year. Every single month of reality is a perfect Palin-in-2012 commercial, free of charge.
Gee, we all might be jobless. Certainly we should all be worried about it. What to do? Pass a law that throws our asses in jail if we don’t buy health insurance. What wonderful logic! How hopeful! That’s like saying, the building is on fire so what we need is a stiffer penalty for not using the handrail when you’re using the stairs.
Always make the most of every single crisis; do nothing to prevent the crises from happening, ever. And the response to every single crisis that comes along is a few more rules.

“And the response to every single crisis that comes along is a few more rules.”…that makes the crisis worse.
