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...
Truly this is the Greatest Country in the World. Don’t Let Freedom Slip Away

I believe that I am an eyewitness to history. I cannot tell you that Hitler took Austria by tanks and guns; it would distort history. We elected him by a landslide – 98% of the vote…I’ve never read that in any American publications. Everyone thinks that Hitler just rolled in with his tanks and took Austria by force.
:
We were promised that a vote for Hitler would mean the end of unemployment and help for the family. Hitler also said that businesses would be assisted, and farmers would get their farms back. Ninety-eight percent of the population voted to annex Austria to Germany and have Hitler for our ruler.
Seriously. Seriously. If you think you’ve read something more important than this in the last week or two, you’re wrong.
Make the time. Miss the surgery appointment, and take the physician’s place in the kitchen, with a spoon, disinfected with a lighter. Stop what you’re doing and read, top to bottom.
With a grateful hat tip to Joan of Argghh! at Primordial Slack.

Stormbringer’s blog is a treasure trove of interest and inspiration. At times it can be quite graphic with war pics, however, so browse with caution if amongst a gentler companionship.
I am a long-time addict of eye-witness accounts, especially the ones pre-Woodward and Bernstein. . . before journalism achieved rock-star status.
- JoanOfArgghh | 04/18/2010 @ 04:59People look on history and say “That can’t happen to us. We’re so much smarter, better educated, more accomplished. I mean look at all the great things we have. And our leaders, they aren’t like Hitler for gosh sakes. He was crazy. He wanted power. He wanted to rule the world! Our leaders aren’t like that”.
Right.
