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...
…thanks to our current Secretary of State. Please tell me there’s some plot twist, some sharp corner in the road, some ace-up-the-sleeve, some “Solomon cleaving the baby” moment up ahead.
Anxious not to repeat mistakes of past Middle East peace-making, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has turned to former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter for tips ahead of her own conference this year.
Rice invited Carter, a vocal critic of Bush administration policies, to the State Department on Wednesday where the two discussed his Arab-Israeli peacemaking efforts in the 1970s, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said on Friday.
Their talks were “good and cordial,” he said. They focused on the Middle East and not Carter’s recent criticism of President George W. Bush’s policies in Iraq and elsewhere.
Which is kinda like inviting O.J. Simpson and not discussing Nicole.
Hey, I can relate to this. The other night I wanted to find out how to drive an oil taker so I invited Captain Joe Hazelwood to dinner to tell me how to do it. And the night before I was concerned about preventing epidemics, so I held a seance and summoned the spirit of Typhoid Mary to give me some helpful pointers there.
So you see, getting some help from Carter and Clinton about peace in the Middle East, that just dovetails right on in…
No, I don’t think Dr. Rice herself sees the logic in what’s being done here. I’ve seen her interrogated in the chambers of Congress, about things that already did make sense, as if those things did not. I’ve seen her face off against people who are genuinely unhinged from reality. She’s not like them. But it’s abundantly clear to me that now, today, she is beholden to people like that.
Or maybe she is batshit crazy.
Either way…just say it to yourself a few times if you need a demonstration of how nutty this is. Three times should be enough for anyone. We’re getting advice from Carter and Clinton about the Mideast peace process. We’re getting advice from Carter and Clinton about the Mideast peace process. We’re getting advice from Carter and Clinton about the Mideast peace process.
If that still seems sensible to anyone…just pick up some history books. I mean, like, dang.
