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...
Throw a rock into a pack of dogs, and the one that yelps the loudest is the one that got hit. And God bless Sarah Palin, that girl knows how to throw a rock. Misquoting Albright: Yelp! Fact Check: Yelp! Analysis: Yelp! Yelp! Yelp! With some “racism” sprinkled on top.
And class, you do remember what the House of Eratosthenes Glossary told you an analysis is, right? That’s right…
An Editorial, with a different name so that editors can justify placing it where the news belongs.
Michelle Malkin sums up everything worth saying right here:
Putting the “Ass” in “Associated Press,” one of the wire service’s Obama water-carriers attempts to smear Sarah Palin as a racist for spotlighting Barack Obama’s longtime relationships with Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers:
Analysis: Palin’s words carry racial tinge
Palin’s words avoid repulsing voters with overt racism. But is there another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee “palling around” with terrorists while assuring a predominantly white audience that he doesn’t see their America?
In a post-Sept. 11 America, terrorists are envisioned as dark-skinned radical Muslims, not the homegrown anarchists of Ayers’ day 40 years ago. With Obama a relative unknown when he began his campaign, the Internet hummed with false e-mails about ties to radical Islam of a foreign-born candidate.
Whether intended or not by the McCain campaign, portraying Obama as “not like us” is another potential appeal to racism…
:
[Associated Press continues with more of its unadulterated nonsense]
:Meanwhile, back in the real world, McCain continues to forbid his campaign from going after Obama for his longtime friendship and ideological partnership with Rev. Jeremiah Wright — and refuses to attack Obama on the Fannie/Freddie/CRA debacles because he fears being perceived as a racist.
Earth to McCain: They will see RAAAACISM in whatever you and Palin will say and do from now until Election Day.
Fight or get rolled.
Wake. Up.
These hairs they’re splitting — the splitting is self-parody. Good heavens. Making an issue out of “help women” versus “support women” and then go running off to Madeleine Albright to find out what she meant to say. Seeing racism where there is no cause to — where Gov. Palin has reminded the voters of the terrorist activities of a white guy. S-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g to make the desired point. And I suppose they call this journalism. We all know the former Secretary of State is going to be perfectly neutral and objective in announcing what she wants people to believe she meant to say, yeah. Uh huh. Tell me another.
The fact is, the democrats have been staying in office when they haven’t deserved to, for generations, by pretending they have some kind of monopoly on championing issues that have special meaning to women. By driving a big fat wedge between men and women — pretending that what hurts women helps men, and vice-versa. Palin used their own words against them, and beat them at their own game. There was no meaningful misquoting, in letter or in spirit. Albright spoke recklessly, back when it seemed safe, and her words were put on a Starbuck’s coffee cup, where they came back to haunt her. Point Palin.
And Bill Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist. He feels he didn’t do enough when he set those bombs. A qualified presidential candidate wouldn’t have any connection to him whatsoever. Barack Obama would, in all likelihood, be barred from seeking any position with the CIA, the FBI, or obtaining any sort of secret clearance. And rightfully so. It’s called an unfavorable adjudication, and he’s got it written all over ‘im, through the Ayers matter alone.
Truth hurts. The dogs are yelping. Can someone please hand the Governor a big ol’ sackful of rocks — big un’s.

- vanderleun | 10/05/2008 @ 18:45The head reels at these lame attempts at rationalization — and rationalization is already a lame attempt at appearning to be rational.
After this, I have to wonder what a white person can say that won’t be interpreted as racist.
I made the mistake of reading the HuffPo article about the Albright quote … and then reading the moonbat comments. She said “help” rather than “support”? Woah, talk about changing the entire meaning of the statement. It baffles me that people take such idiocy seriously. This kind of thing really makes me fear for the country.
You’re right. The McCain campaign needs to hammer Obama on Ayers, Wright, Freddie/Fannie and even Acorn. They will scream “racist” anyway, for something as simple as ordering a hamburger. They can do it. After reading this, I have no doubt. I can see it now.
