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...
From Prof. Jacobson:
It’s all about the message:
Top Obama adviser says unemployment won’t be key in 2012
President Obama’s senior political adviser David Plouffe said Wednesday that people won’t vote in 2012 based on the unemployment rate.
Well no, of course it will not be about unemployment, considering the numbers continue to look dismal:
Jobs Picture Gets Even Worse as Rate Swells to 9.2%
U.S. employment growth ground to a halt in June, with employers hiring the fewest number of workers in nine months, dousing hopes the economy would regain momentum in the second half of the year.
I don’t know that a competent, skilled general ever looks at a battle as a sure thing. Perhaps that would go against the job description. But if ever any one did, he’d surely be delighted to discover the enemy’s high command is thinking the way David Plouffe thinks: rose-colored-freakin’-glasses. Wish on something, expect it, demand it, and reality will magically comply.
It seems progs just can’t get away from it. Ever since FDR slipped into a final coma, the left loses the White House and the Senate every so many years, almost as a matter of ritual, as a direct result of this delusion that they can dictate to the rest of the country what our concerns are supposed to be. Say-it’s-so, make-it-so. When it works, it works, but it only works about a third of the time. Maybe less than that. So they get voted out.
These jackasses are supposed to be a force to be reckoned with in 2012, huh?
