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 Fun Begins
The scandal is down, the scandal is down. It’s biting dirt, and it’s biting hard. The Karl Rove, Joe Wilson, Valerie Plame, Outing a Covert Agent, Treason blah blah blah scandal‘s shoulders are pinned to the mat. Gone is the “he broke the law” canard. Gone is the “outed her to wreak vengeance” canard. The “should be hanged for treason” train has left the station.
It looks like Rove can’t be indicted for committing any crime here, and that’s if you believe everything that has been said by the Democrats. Every little thing, swallow it uncritically, unchallenged. But why should you? What they say depends on the premise that Rove was the original source of this “leak,” and that’s assuming there was any leak at all. Reasons to doubt this, are mounting, and reasons to believe it, have never exactly been in abundance.
I’m ready to call this now. It’s my birthday, I get to call things. Washington scandals do tend to be like bouncing footballs, I know, but I think this one’s close enough to call. It’s on the home stretch, and I see no reason to await logical arguments and cohesive digestion of available facts, from a noisy group of whiners that have never supplied either since this “scandal” began. Let’s have fun instead.
Fun with “Liberal Deny-Reality Bingo.” Gather the family around the TV and the radio. Go over that Letters to the Editor page in the paper, as well as the editorials put together by those wise, cool-headed professional journalists. Argue with some nameless, faceless, hotheads on the Internet. Who can get five-in-a-row first? Will it be Mom or Dad? Or Peter, Marcia, Bobby, Cindy, maybe Alice?
