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...
Takin’ Awhile
So I’m reading about this comment from the Junior Senator from the state of New York about Secretary Rumsfeld…
“I just don’t understand why we can’t get new leadership that would give us a fighting chance to turn the situation around before it’s too late,” the New York Democrat and potential 2008 presidential contender said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I think the president should choose to accept Secretary Rumsfeld’s resignation.”
“The secretary has lost credibility with the Congress and with the people,” she said. “It’s time for him to step down and be replaced by someone who can develop an effective strategy and communicate it effectively to the American people and to the world.”
…and this thought flashed through my head. A politically-incorrect, prurient thought, with more than a grain of coherence about it, I thought, but nevertheless bordering on the vulgar. Some would say I should be ashamed for thinking it, and I know they must have a point because I have not seen this sentiment spoken or written anywhere, even as everyone starts relaying the Senator’s remarks by jungle-telegraph, dutifully, with the conservatives dutifully rolling their eyes and the liberals dutifully cluck-clucking and muttering “Mmmmm, hmmmm.”
I told my better half about the facts — just the facts! I swear! — and wouldn’t you know it, the first thing to come out of her mouth was exactly what I had been thinking. The thing I thought, that I haven’t seen anyone else come out and say. Anywhere.
Senator Clinton is of the mind that when you are placed in a position of honor and trust, and it’s demonstrated you’re a failure, that you cannot fulfill the expectations of those who are counting on you, you should resign immediately. It doesn’t matter how smart you are. It doesn’t matter how much prestige you have. If you lose the confidence of those you’re supposed to be satisfying, you kick your own ass out the door. No exceptions.
So why in the hell is that divorce taking so long?
