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...
Someone Did It

Today, put a liberal you know & love on the path to recovery. Don’t start any arguments. Keep any subjective matters of opinion corked up tight. Don’t raise your voice. Don’t defend anything about FEMA or Katrina.
Simply assert, and re-assert as many times as it takes, with absolutely no value-judgments whatsoever, that what we memorialize today was somebody’s work. Words like “disaster,” “tragedy,” “what happened,” and “people died” fail to capture this, and were concocted in a focus group laboratory because they gloss over this. It was an act of mass murder, affecting some people, executed by other people, and that’s a fact.
If the liberal wants to say George Bush and Dick Cheney were among the people planning it, or that persons of Jewish faith were given a heads-up so that none of them died in those flaming buildings that day, or that this was on Halliburton’s drawing board for months, my suggestion is to ignore the red herring entirely. “What happened on September 11, 2001” was an Act. That is today’s conversion project. See if the liberal can admit it wasn’t a natural disaster. Just that much. The liberal might learn something. And if he doesn’t, you definitely will.
