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...
Well yes, of course. it’s obvious. Click the pic to embiggen.
Hoft:
In the background of the picture a group of men are posing for one camera man and another is running towards another camera man. In other areas, people are just standing around. The woman with the children was just a photo-op…
The whole media is a PR shop for this caravan. The media hailed the Reuters photographer as a hero.
He told NBC News, “When the tear gas started, some people were screaming and everybody started running away. I saw the woman and two children running away. One girl was barefoot from the beginning. The other was wearing beach sandals and lost them in the chaos.”
She lost her sandal!
Oh no.
Orange Man Bad…

…We have the worst media in the world.
We have made our media what it is, of course. The lies are going to get worse and worse, as long as they keep working. Our friends the liberals are the loudest among us — they solve everything by way of emotional outbursts, and they have the time, no one is counting on them to produce anything. And liberals have made it a point of pride to believe the right things, no matter how risible, and disbelieve all the WrongBadThink, no matter how little cause for doubt there may be. A brief glance in the rear view mirror at the Chredible Christine imbroglio, is sufficient to confirm that.
The rock won’t cease its descent until it reaches the ocean floor, and the floor has yet to be found.

So, so many problems with the staging, not all of which are always pointed out. It’s nice to have the “embiggened” version. Just at a quick glance I can see:
- P_Ang | 11/28/2018 @ 09:111.) Grey-pants, black-jacket, red-hat dude meandering along looking at the top of the fence completely unworried, while yellow-ass-shirt man next to him casually enjoys a smoke.
2.) At LEAST 4 photographers in the scene. 1. Pinkngrey-knickers, pale-blue shirt below yellow-ass. 2.) Hand-held camera with flash above baby-stroller, pointed in exactly the right spot. 3.) Tripod-paparazzi prepared for the staged shot. 4.) Whoever actually SHOT the staged photo. Possibly 5, see below…
3.) The “director.” There is a lighter-skinned woman pointing and lib-splaining to two hispanic guys. Maybe pointing out where to film if they have a camera, but my conservo-sense makes me think of the elderly white communists that were photo’d during the Ferguson riots showing the local boys how to make molotovs as if they needed help.
4.) Chunka-chunka burning love in the expensive Frozen(tm) shirt pulling the two lighter-skinned-probably-not-her kids away from the campfire…er smoke bomb…er tear gas. Kid one, who has NO sandals, (not simply missing one) is disturbed far more about where she is stepping than getting away from the “danger.” Kid two was playing with her whiffle ball before suddenly being wrenched away for the shot.
5.) There is far two big a discrepancy between the crowd that was ordered to run, and the crowd that either didn’t understand the instructions and are milling around or watching the setup with great interest. Even the three US military guys are on the US side of the fence watching the procedings.
6.) There is the obviously even LARGER crowd that is actually at the fence in the background, with spectators seated in a row at the top of dunes that have been waiting and watching the whole thing being conducted. You would think that unless they KNEW there was a show going on, they would ALSO be milling about because…”maybe that campfire might leap up and gas us too?” or possible “move this way and fire campfire gas at the far larger crowd of dangerous males closer to the fence.
Sorry, got sloppy at the end there. I meant to imply that no self-respecting individual, knowing that they were the FAR more likely target to get gassed, would sit around waiting for the gas to show up.
- P_Ang | 11/28/2018 @ 09:49and with further inspection:
7.) Have you ever BEEN gassed? As a cop in the AF (thanks to going through Army A.I.T.) I have. I know any Army and Marine folks have. There’s NOT ENOUGH TO SEE in those gas chambers, and it will have you puking, spewing mucus from your eyes and nose, and doubled over in seconds. Meanwhile the campfire is spitting out smoke and not one of the four in the foreground have so much as a sniffly nose. I don’t think overeating protects you from CS gas, and according to what we were told the kids should be especially susceptible.
