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...
“4. Speaking of Palin, she will stump for five GOP candidates, four of them will win, everyone will talk about the one who didn’t.”
— from Morgan’s predictions for 2010.
Behold, it is coming to pass:
Former Gov. Sarah Palin will announce today that she’s hitting the campaign trail for Republicans — including her former running mate John McCain.
Palin, who did not campaign in last year’s governor’s races or in yesterday’s Senate race in Massachusetts, has committed to contests in three states, including two Republican primaries, an aide said.
She’ll campaign in Texas for Gov. Rick Perry, who faces a primary challenge from Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison; she’ll appear in Arizona for Senator John McCain, who faces a challenge from the right; and she’ll appear in Minnesota for Rep. Michelle Bachmann, a conservative firebrand who has emerged as a national figure.
In a statement set to appear on her Facebook page, Palin promises to campaign “FOR the people and AGAINST politics as usual.”
Everyone tremble in fear and awe at the amazing prescience of The Blog That Nobody Reads. (Insert Dr. Evil laugh here.)

I’m hoping for a long shot Debra Medina (R) win here in Texas, Morgan. Perry hasn’t been horrible by any means, but he’s pushed enough nanny state legislation down our throats to choke me into disgust, our property taxes are exorbitant and so is our property insurance. He has done next to nothing about the flood of illegals that have poured into our state during the last eight years.
I’m done with Perry, Medina is getting my vote and my money. Palin can go pound sand.

Although I should point out, one of the reasons I find it so tough to take issue with you is that I, too, have a Republican governor who possesses questionable conservative credentials. It is not because of his milquetoast ideology, but his powerlessness, that we’re about to go bankrupt.
Gov. Perry I notice is singing a different tune about Texas…and there must be something to it because Gov. Schwarzenegger wouldn’t be able to say any such thing without getting laughed off the stage. What exactly is the level of difficulty involved in owning a business in Texas, versus the Golden State, Daphne? Perhaps, if that’s not a campaign issue, it should be…Palin’s rhetoric matches this concern extraordinarily well, and the concern is a good illustration of what exactly is ailing the country.
I wrote a letter to my two dimbulb hippie female senators last month suggesting to them that the perfect slogan for the current leadership (Congress, as well as WH) would be something like “Given any problem, our approach is to make sure no one can profit by presenting a solution.” From all I can gather, it seems Palin and Perry can put together an effective partnership in fighting that mindset. But he’s your governor, so perhaps you know more about that particular topic than I would.
- mkfreeberg | 01/20/2010 @ 11:20Our business climate is excellent in Texas, which is undoubtedly Perry’s strongest accomplishment and one that I wholeheartedly support. He and the legislature have done a fabulous job of strengthening our economy by lowering business taxes, reducing regulation that strangles start-ups and expansion and passing comprehensive tort reform. All in all, a stellar job of management on that front. We’re only having a small recession down here thanks to their pro-business attitude.
I have more to say, but I need to go fix my hair right now, I’ll leave you with this fun fact though; The tea party people down here are fully supporting Medina and Perry got booed beyond belief at a couple of their rallies.
- Daphne | 01/20/2010 @ 11:51Well, these long-shot candidates certainly do have their place. They can win, of course. Sen. Brown is a great example of that. Failing that, it’s always much more likely that they put some pressure on the candidates that actually have a shot.
If Perry is one of these ivory-tower types with their heads crammed squarely up their asses on the illegal alien issue, I’ll have to side with your fellow protesters against Palin on this issue. I do have to doubt that’s the entire story, though. You and I both know Palin could donate both kidneys to Ms. Medina tomorrow morning, and she still wouldn’t make your “real pals” list. But issue-for-issue, I agree with you: Let the businesses run, until they start hiring illegals. Then treat them the way people like Obama want to treat the businesses that don’t hire illegals. Which means, like shit.
