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...
Clothes that cost a lot of money, sure. (The quantity of clothing was never something that was spelled out for me; so like many, I was always at a loss for the information needed to make judgment calls as far as bang-for-the-buck.) But her clothes looked nice.
And she wore them while campaigning. It seems like something so non-controversial, or at least something that should be, to say that people ought to look nice when they’re campaigning for something.
Michelle Obama: Volunteers at a food bank, and for said occasion wears one pair of butt-ugly shoes retailing at $540 (hat tip: Rick).
Yeah, but she’s the President’s wife. First Ladies should radiate, I guess, a sense of fashion hip-and-with-it-ness that borders on the surreal…like they don’t know what a dollar is worth, and something is terribly wrong with the universe if they ever have to. Even when rubbing shoulders with the riff-raff at a food bank. Vice Presidents, on the other hand, should be wearing flour sacks, all the time, even when campaigning for the office. That’s a time-honored American tradition. Didn’t you know?

There were two accusations made against Sarah Palin for her clothes. One was that they were paid for out of the campaign fund, which opponents claimed was illegal. I have no idea whether that was true or not, but I’m pretty sure a formal complaint was filed, and any adverse finding probably would have been pretty big news.
The argument that exposes the lefties who made it, in light of their present silence, as hypocrites (and, as we’ll see in a moment, stupid) was that Palin’s expensive clothes exposed her down-to-earth image as a fraud. The stupidity of the argument is breathtaking. The fact that she needed to buy those clothesfor the campaign proves that she did not already have them, which is perfectly consistent with her image.
And don’t forget about Nancy Reagan. As Mark Levin pointed out on his show yesterday, the press vilified her regularly for attending formal events during a recession. I guess she was only supposed to wear sack cloth.
