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...
Victor Davis Hanson sums up this week nicely. Hat tip to Rick.
As Obama begins to govern and as the public sees that he simply borrowed Bush’s foreign policy rhetoric, jazzed it up with his cadences and pauses, and then took either Bushites or Democratic centrists and called them hope and change…and as the gaffes begin…the fawning media will begin to look embarrassed, then ridiculous, and finally completely bankrupt. They offered no audit of Obama, no tough treatment, no honest examination of his flips, no balance in their treatment of Bush, and they will soon pay a terrible price for that derelection and worse, as the public sees them as the state megaphones that they have so sadly become.
The running family joke is that each morning, as I pull the complimentary newspaper into the hotel room and read the headline on Page A1 above-the-fold, it’s always the same: “He’s Still Awesome!” But there really isn’t too much joke to it. Truly newsworthy events? Just one: He signed something about closing down Gitmo in a year.
The rest of it is just fluff. All of it. New era, Michelle’s gown, hope is in the air, so much work to do, He confronts a crisis.
It has been a long-held tenet within the leftist schools-of-thought that a truly independent and free press is vital to the liberty of those who consider themselves to be living within a free society. This is one of the more respectable leftist axioms (it certainly beats the snot out of — When you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody).
Well, if that’s true then we just lost our liberty.
If I simply traveled back in time a year or two with video footage and archived newsclippings of this nonsense, the people back then would consider it to be humor. And not good humor. The left-wingers back then would pronounce it to be parody, unacceptable parody, ridiculous parody, “beyond the pale.” It would never happen, they’d intone.
And yet here we are.
