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...
Thoughts:
1. See, this is why I can’t run for public office. Where the cheesesteak lady asks for a name and Gov. Palin proudly says, “Sarah.” I’d be sunk right there. I stopped using “Morgan” and switched to “Sam” several years ago, after I realized I was spending more time having idiotic conversations about “did you know that’s the name of a car (or horse)?” and “did you know that’s German for ‘morning’?” than eating my sandwich, dropping off my dry cleaning, or whatever else. So she’d ask me my name, I’d say “Sam,” we’d have a nationwide scandal, Barack Obama would ask how I can stare down Vladimir Putin if I can’t even tell anyone what my real name is, Saturday Night Live would do a skit…no, don’t draft me. Stick to Sarah and that old guy she’s running with.
2. Ah, one of my favorite things. She smiled into a camera with a cell phone held up to her ear. Well, that’ll cost her, but only just barely; she can afford to lose a point or two in my book.
3. She talked about If That’s What We Have To Do To Defeat The Terrorists. The Manhattan crowd is making fun of her because she continues to lapse into this. It is lame when the question is about something else, and it’s obvious she’s been rehearsed on talking points and can’t provide an answer that gels with what she’s been given…but then again…she’s talking about the very most important issue in this election. That spells leadership. A hell of a lot better than babbling away about globular wormening.
4. Looks a lot like Geno’s.
5. Pennsylvania is one of three battleground states that are way too close to call; Pennsylvania is currently the “bluest” out of those three. I don’t know how Florida is going to do, but I’ll bet Pennsylvania and Ohio are both red this year.
6. Isn’t it interesting what polar opposites Sarah Palin and Barack Obama are? It’s gotten to the point where you can’t help but notice it. Palin is surrounded by ankle-biters trying to trip her up about the “Bush Doctrine,” et al, and she just keeps her sunny disposition. Obama is somber, morose, something of a nattering nabob of nastiness, even though he’s surrounded by fawning media darlings that lob softballs at him and kiss his ass all day. Interesting.
H/T: Hot Air.

I really, really like Sarah Palin. She’s so incredibly genuine.
It looks as if she took that cell phone at the request of someone…if you listen to the audio carefully, she was talking to an acquaintance of the cell phone owner.
How cool is that?
I bet Joe Biden wouldn’t do that.
- bradenmikael | 09/30/2008 @ 21:20Yeah, that’s one of the reasons I had to cut her some slack. She’s at the epicenter of an earthquake…I’m not sure what adjective to throw in front of “earthquake” there, it’s a “media” earthquake of sorts but of course the “media” is doing whatever it can to kill it. People are obviously hungry for something, and I think I know what.
She has real respect for people. Wants to make time for everyone, and it shows. Girl’s gotta multi-task however she can.
Quite a lady. Not a Messiah like He Who Walks On Water. But a very classy, capable lady.
- mkfreeberg | 09/30/2008 @ 21:28Way too cool of a post. I gotta come back.
