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...
Wow, Hume let him have a whole minute of rope for hanging himself.
It was bad enough to get a sympathetic wince out of me…and as far as I’m concerned, the more embarrassment for Congressman Paul, the better. But he earned so much humiliation for himself in this one moment, I kinda felt bad for the little nutjob.
Here’s what gets me about Congressman Paul. A big part of his constituency wants him to be in charge because of this feeling among many that our diplomatic channels are clogged up…we need to talk out our problems with our potential enemies…avoid conflicts…etc.
But — it wasn’t just because of Dr. Paul’s hearing problem that he got in trouble here. It was his mind. The wrinkles on his brain are chiseled in for monologue, and not for dialog. Someone asks him a question he doesn’t like, he just finds a way to re-direct the discussion back to his hot-button issues.
Which is true of any politician, I guess. But with Dr. Paul, it isn’t just stuff that would be creating problems for him. It’s anything at all. Start off with a discussion about penguins and Fred Flintstone…Ron Paul will find a way morph that conversation into something about a “rush to war.”
He simply can’t achieve command of the assortment of issues needed to participate in our electoral process, let alone be an object of it. And negotiating with someone? Seeing issues from the other person’s point of view? Ron Paul has something to do with all that? Eh…not seein’ it, sorry.
And I would say the same thing about his supporters. It’s impressive how much consistency they show. You’re for their guy…or else…you must be part of the old guard, keeping the system broken, probably because you’re on the take. Would you rather sleep with Ginger or Mary Ann? Who made a better Catwoman, Eartha Kitt or Julie Newmar? They don’t know…but…blah blah blah rush to war for oil constitution blah blah blah.
Bunch o’ damn one-trick ponies.
