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...
I don’t know about this Colonel Vindman guy. I have noticed online that discussions about anything connected to him, are pretty short: Someone says “war hero” and then there are gasps of righteous indignation against anybody who would dare question this or that…
And this is something I’ve seen before. Every now and then The Left will trot out someone who says something The Left wants said. And if the person was in the right place at the right time, and maybe holds some position that would run contrary to the ugliest stereotypes about The Left, then he or she becomes a hero. From the moment we first learn their names, they’re elevated by their democrat-party handlers to iconic status. We aren’t allowed to question what they do or say. Anyone with a heartbeat who so much as suggests anything short of glowingly positive, faces an onslaught of Internet mockery and derision.
One of them, back in the day, was lionized by a prestigious columnist as holding “absolute moral authority.”
And I have come to a conclusion about them: I don’t trust them. No actually it’s worse than that: They tell me something is so, I immediately disbelieve it. I have doubts if they say water is wet.
It’s not an anti-democrat-party thing. Okay so it is, but only partly. Mostly it’s based on the past track record. These megastars don’t tell the truth very often, and when they do, after all the chips are down you come to find it’s only a half-truth. Sure there are teeming throngs of Internet denizens ready to circle wagons around them, and that’s important because the Internet is fairly reliable as a tell-tale about where the national discourse is, and where it’s going. But it suffers from a horrible reputation when it comes to figuring out what is & isn’t true, and it deserves that horrible reputation. With me, The Iconics have a less than desirable reputation as well. I’d sooner trust a salt-lick canoe.
So say what you want about me. No, I don’t think your Autistic Swedish brat can see carbon dioxide in the air. The Iconics, and their unscrupulous handlers, bore me.

Well, there goes your theory that progressive political women have to be ugly. She should probably undo one more button on her blouse, though, to get the badass hot-chick look right.
Does she know that if your car is going the wrong direction backwards, you don’t get the right direction by turning the car around?
Scooter Libby went to jail because the Republicans were to spineless to fight back. They’re finally showing some backbone, let’s hope that her opponent is willing to make her regret coming out of hiding.

- Richard A | 10/31/2019 @ 12:44Future generations are going to have to study this era whether they want to or not; the level of polarization is exceptional. And yet we’ve had three, and probably four, two-term Presidents in a row. Three has only happened once. Four is unprecedented.
The George W. Bush administration is an object lesson in what happens when you state your mission and your vision one time, when you’re selling it to the relevant stakeholders, and then never touch the task of molding & shaping of narrative ever again, leaving it entirely to the enemy. He improved over Bush The First, who by comparison coasted on his Great-American-ness, and left his own base to wonder what exactly the plan was. But ultimately the son failed too. If we had it to do over again a hundred times, we would have gotten some kind of subsequent Obama administration a hundred times.
This is where conservatives figured out they need to do the work that has to get done, that is lacking in glamour and fanfare, and usually lacking in the buy-my-own-country pay we’d all like to be raking in, AND we also need to fight against liberals for control over the narrative. It’s an uphill battle because the liberals can afford to be pure political animals. They have time. No one’s counting on them to build, or to maintain, jack squat.
- mkfreeberg | 11/01/2019 @ 04:31The dear colonel is most likely a “war hero” in the same sense as Songbird McShame. And for Richard A, the entire Shrub clan, including their “adopted son” Little Marco, are nothing more then filthy Koch-sucking Rove Republican swill. The wrong Koch died.
