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 Real Cause
I don’t remember where I read it and I certainly can’t recall who said it. I have been candid about my addiction to FARK as it has waxed and waned through the years, so I suspect I got this from a thread over there somewhere. But I hope this becomes an Internet-meme, spreading like wildfire from Big Sur to Tallahassee, something everyone will have heard within a month or two. That is what I would like to see. And it really bugs me when someone reads something I said, likes it, and gives me credit for thinking it up when I don’t deserve the credit.
And I can’t take credit for this. But I really like it. Here it is.
We have discovered the real cause of global warming. And it is the anger and nastiness of liberals. It’s rising up into the atmosphere, and acting like a greenhouse gas.
Makes perfect sense. What is the timeframe of global warming, after all? Ostensibly, it is a phenomenon gradually setting in since the industrial revolution, but it has really started to peak in the last handful of years. The hottest year on record, I’m told, was 1998 — that was the hear move-on-dot-org got started. In 2001, liberals were driven out of all the branches of government because we were sick and tired of them. The liberals got angry, and accused the elections officials of shenanigans. The accusations were checked out, and smacked-down; the liberals got angrier.
The climate heated up some more.
Democrats failed to re-take Congress in ’02, the liberals got angry, the climate heated up some more. We invaded Iraq, the liberals got angry, the climate heated up. George W. Bush was re-elected, liberals got angry again, climate heated up again.
The trend is unbroken; I’m sure everyone would have to agree with that. The theory is unassailable. It’s like what they say about evolution: “the evidence is, quite simply, overwhelming.” Fits here.
And now lookee what we have here. Via Malkin: Liberal tolerance running amok. On the issue of illegal immigration, California’s Senate President Pro Tem calls the path-to-citizenship opponents — what an unreasonable position to take! — “all these crackers.” Niiiiiiiiiice. He certainly sounds like an angry, bigoted man. I’ll bet the mean temperature trickled up a couple degrees Fahrenheit before he got to the “ers.” We are also reminded about the Brown Berets disrupting an appearance by First Lady Maria Shriver last month.
Shriver came to encourage low-income families to use food stamps to buy healthy fruits and vegetables. But about a dozen Watsonville Brown Berets shouted “You’re not welcome here” and “racist.”
I can hear the polar bears crying right now. And…it’s getting…hard…to breathe…
