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...
Gerard would like you to step forward if you are the owner and/or creator of the graphic to the right.
So would I.
It reminds me of the second most important issue in the upcoming elections, which is: That party named after the Latin word for “people,” which is “demos” — are they mixed-up stupid or full-blown crazy? Do they understand people who build businesses and make money and thereby provide jobs to people — aren’t necessarily the bad guys? If so, then what’s the deal? Do they want to rebuild Mother Russia over here in North America, or are they just a bunch of anarchist buttholes who want to go back to the horse and buggy whip and plow and acres and mules?
All these things they’re supposed to support, like the economy, and soldiers, and people in general — how come all their plans seem calculated to inflict the maximum harm upon those things?
It reminds me of that old campfire song…
Johnny Rebec the Dutchman,
what makes you be so mean?
I told you you’d be sorry
for inventing that machine.
Now all the neighbor’s cats and dogs
will never more be seen.
They’ll all be ground to sausages
in Johnny Rebec’s machine.One day the machine was broken
The darned thing wouldn’t go.
So Johnny Rebec crawled in
to see what made it so.
Along came his wife
a walking down the street.
She gave the crank
a heck of a yank
and Johnny Rebec was meat.Ohhh Johnny Rebec the Dutchman,
what makes you be so mean?
Ha! That is so much like the typical democrat plan. The utterly naive misunderstanding of human nature, the failure to comprehend that the “free market” (the wife) might already be doing something about the problem. The idiocy, the instinct for self-destruction.
And the grinding up of the cats and dogs into hamburger.
Well, there might be a dearth of facts available to lend support to that last one. But hey. Just give a listen to the crap they say about Republicans sometime. This just evens up the score.

Not just the idiocy, but the infancy as well.
- vanderleun | 01/20/2008 @ 02:06Sorry this is so late, but for years I was one of those who never read your blog. Now I’m working back through your old stuff.
“Demos” is from the Greek word for the “people”. The Latin word is “populus”, whence the English word “people.”
