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...
I’d like to know. And no, infiltrators don’t count…
From Human Events, which explains,
A liberal protester at the “One Nation Working Together” march physically assaulted a HUMAN EVENTS reporter who was videotaping Rep. Charlie Rangel (D.-N.Y) at the event at the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
The reporter, Emily Miller, was first hit from behind while she was taping Rangel as the Harlem congressman glad-handed supporters in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Miss Miller is heard on the video saying, “Please don’t hit me.” The protester proceeds to yell at the reporter, “Well get out of the way! What do you think this is? A–hole.” The activist was attempting to meet Rangel herself. Miss Miller continued videotaping the event, when suddenly the same unhinged protester lunged at her, hit her on the arm, and yelled, “Don’t take my picture.”

I hadn’t even gotten to the part about the assault and I was already offended by the “Jesus healed…blah blah, the right wing would call Him a socialist” sign.
I’m SICK AND FUCKING TIRED OF THIS! STOP CONFUSING WELFARE WITH PRIVATE CHARITY. GAHHH!!! I WANT TO FUCKING CHOKE THE NEXT PERSON WHO DOES THIS!
Ahem. Pardon my profanity, but this just absolutely frustrates the hell out of me.
No. No, this is just the most patently offensive, ignorant, wrong-headed thing that anyone could say anywhere in the realm of social policy. Jesus was not a fracking socialist. He was an advocate of digging into your OWN pockets to help the poor, even if you yourself wound up giving away what you had to live on.
This is precisely why I absolutely refuse to accept any kind of criticism of my spiritual walk (“holiness”, if you will) from nonbelievers. They don’t know what the hell they are talking about. It would be like a fry cook at McDonald’s telling a brain surgeon what he knows about neurons and the frontal cortex. These people open their mouths and it’s readily apparent they don’t understand the first damn fucking thing about my faith, much less qualify to lecture ME on any of its tenets. The first thing I always here are a bunch of misconceptions, half-truths, and whole lies put into their heads by the media and popular American culture. Jesus to them is a caricature, not the Son of God. This protest sign is precisely the kind of thing I mean.
I don’t accept advice on Christian behavior from outsiders. They don’t belong to God’s kingdom. They don’t have a clue what it’s like to follow Jesus. None.
Because, you know…that’s what Jesus did, right? Going around giving away money handed to Him by the ruling Roman authorities and exhorting His followers to petition those same Romans to open the Treasury and “spread the wealth around.”

My memory may be faulty, though.
