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...
Seems an opportune time to dredge up this clip from six weeks ago. It didn’t get the exposure it deserved, especially, that paraphrased quote headlined above.
No matter what your feelings about Gov. Palin, I think you’d have to agree there is a fair amount of negativity about her that could be fairly described, I think, as forced. That means — the mission is to find something ugly about her, Katie Couric dredges up a morsel that partially fulfills that and there’s a swarming hoard of ankle-biters appearing suddenly from the woodwork to say “Good! That’s what I wanted to see happen!”
Because of a high-minded concern about preserving the noble, sacred office of the Vice Presidency from an occupant whose qualifications might fall short, thus contaminating that sacrosanct chamber for all eternity?
I think not.
It’s personal.
It’s hateful.
It dare not describe itself to any of the rest of us. But there’s something going on there…and it isn’t good. Is it really that we have these self-important left-wing institutions, virtual and otherwise, somehow arousing a faux-populist undulation of reactive rage to the fact that Palin “owes them nothing”?
Maybe I’m wrong; I’ve been wrong before. But this makes as much sense to me as anything else.
