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...
Obama’s a better President than George W. Bush, because his limo is much bigger.
Asked if she wanted to drive it, [Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano,] the former Arizona governor replied: “You know, I haven’t driven for almost seven years.”
Bush’s limo appeared quite delicate next to the mean-looking Obama-mobile which had a scary front grill that looked like a plate of steel fangs and huge tires that could frighten potholes.
And forget about a spare tire, the trunk looks like it could fit another car in it if the limo gets a flat.
A second monster limo is in production and will be added to the presidential fleet when it’s ready. Guess it will be called “The Beast II”
Elsewhere in the news, Sen. Boxer is putting forward a great big bunch of “global warming principles“. For all Americans to follow. And by “all Americans” I mean you and me…not Boxer and Obama. Of course. They’re too good. Not like us.
Boxer chairs the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, the starting point for global-warming legislation in the Senate. (A fellow Californian, Rep. Harry Waxman, chairs the House committee that will simultaneously launch its own global-warming push.) Her announcement today gave no details on emission-reduction targets or a host of other issues closely watched by business and environmental groups.
But it made several broad promises, in keeping with Boxer’s pledge for a less complicated bill than the cap-and-trade push that failed in the Senate last year. Among them:
* To reduce emissions “to levels guided by science to avoid dangerous global warming” and to set targets that are “certain and enforceable,” as well as adjustable.
* To maintain state and local anti-warming efforts.
* To utilize a market-based system — that means cap-and-trade, as opposed to a carbon tax, which some economists favor to reduce emissions.
* To use proceeds from the sales of emissions permits for a variety of uses, including: support for consumers, governments, businesses and workers (presumably to help offset higher energy prices under the system); investments in alternative energy; preserving wildlife and ecosystems threatened by warming; and money for developing nations to help them respond to warming.
* To ensure a “level global playing field … so that countries contribute their fair share to the international effort to combat global warming.”
Those left-wing politicians get more and more awesome every single day! Who knows what other rules they’ll be passing against us tomorrow, that they also won’t have to follow themselves.
One thing confuses me though.
Does their awesomeness create this two-layer set of rules, one for them and one for everybody else? Or is this “Do As I Say Not As I Do,” the thing that inspires their awesomeness? Or is it all just a big mystery, and their awesomeness all just falls into that big sloppy file folder marked “There’s Just Something About Him (Them)”?
