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...
The fact checking is awful. It’s the same thing that always happens when there are no standards. Things degrade.
This may be the worst fact check of the year. I suppose it depends on the question being asked. In my situation it was “Is that the true and unaltered lettering on the box?” Fascinating things happened when I used this link to prove that the box lettering was genuine. See…you’re supposed to come to a different conclusion. And wear your masks. It’s important! So…in response to those who say “the masks are no damn good” or some such, they rated it false. I suppose that’s alright because the people who say the masks aren’t doing anything, are leaping to an unwarranted assumption. What fascinates me about the liberal mind though is, the issue being discussed was whether the lettering on the box was being accurately represented, and it was.
So obsessed are they with this business of “the authority figure awarded me the point” that they can’t see anything else. I guess maybe this is what Harry Potter did to that generation.
These poor kids can’t think through anything. They don’t understand the meaning of things.
I envision it through this fragment of imaginary dialogue:
Lefty: Together we can do this!
Righty: ++facepalm++
Lefty: Come on! Blow! We’re all in this together! (blows)
Righty: You…can’t…be…serious…you…can’t…sell…this…b.s.
Lefty: (Smug, lopsided I-can-sell-anything grin) Your intransigence is going to get us all killed. We’ve come a long way! We’re not there yet!
Righty: (Exasperated) WE’RE SITTING IN THE BOAT.
Lefty: Sails that catch moving air exert a force. There are many studies about this!
Righty: Yes, but we’re IN the BOAT.
Lefty: These studies are peer reviewed and everything!
Righty: Yes, but we’re IN the damn BOAT.
Lefty: The vast majority of scientists agree with me! Don’t be a denier! (blow blow blow)
Righty: Blow until your face is blue. I’m grabbing an oar.
Lefty: You’re endangering the public health. There ought to be a law against people like you.

Tell you what, let’s compromise.

Turn around, face astern and THEN blow!
repeat as needed.
THAT way, we’ll be using jet propulsion science, and get there even FASTER!
But you can only use all the people remaining after able bodied men have been issued ALL the oars.
(By the way, they get extra rations of potable water)
