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...
…what is missing from it? Can you spot it? I’ve redacted the portions of the story that do not pertain to her, but included everything that does.
In the first reaction from [acknowledged Edwards mistress Rielle] Hunter’s family, her younger sister Melissa told ABC News that Edwards should immediately follow through on his pledge to take a paternity test.
“I would challenge him to do so,” the sister said.
“Somebody must stand up and defend my sister,” she said. “I wish that those involved would refrain from bad-mouthing my sister.”
Late Saturday evening, The Washington Post reported that Hunter released a statement through her attorney, Robert Gordon, that she would not participate in a genetic test.
:
Hunter’s sister Melissa said Rielle was being falsely portrayed as a “promiscuous person” and was not involved in “setting up” Edwards at the hotel meeting. “She is a good and honest person, the sweetest and most caring woman one could ever hope to meet,” the sister said.
Did you find it?
Answer:
I was looking for something anyone on Planet Earth would say in the situation…”I would challenge him to take a paternity test, because somebody must stand up and make sure my niece, Frances Quinn, grows up with all the advantages that go with having a father.”
No points for guessing right, but an armload of minus-points for anyone who drew a blank and then, having read what I had in mind, said “Ooooh, yeeeeeaaahhh…that’s right,” purely as an afterthought.
And a truckload of ’em for anyone who still hasn’t caught my drift, or did, but refused to see the merit of it. We identify the father, to protect the reputation of the mother? That’s the only reason? Begone with you and your sniveling sneers, you condescending misandrists. What are we, humans or cattle? Homo Sapiens, or Salamandra?
Two Americas, indeed.

Well, it’s something the Left has been working on for some time now isn’t it? Getting women to think of men as, and only as, a source of money seems to be the best way for them to destroy the family. Money is important to women, and men take pride in providing for their families. Made a great wedge, especially since we removed the women’s responsibilities from the marriage years ago. Really, did anyone in the public eye flinch when we brought back debtor’s prison(only for fathers, of course)? Did the women who pushed the child abuse witch hunts ever get punished or shamed?

Something Mr. Edwards is supposedly good on: Women’s Issues.
- Allen L | 08/10/2008 @ 14:00Aside from the (well made) end point.-
“Set up”? Woman scorned?,
“We have proof, but we won’t present it because……” (old favorite)
Based on the history of the Edwards machines’ choices of entourage, I certainly will NOT defend them, but who’s asking the family of “John Edwards’ Mistress’ ” to dig their hole deeper in the first place? Who do they imagine is listening?
Everyone gets 15 minutes I suppose. Count on “info-news” media pimps to promote the phenomena, then their whores to extort the proceeds.
- CaptDMO | 08/10/2008 @ 14:02That’s easy Allen. What are “Women’s Issues”? They are all some variant on irresponsibility. Kill the baby I can’t be responsible for. Change the job I can’t meet the schedule or standards for. Make someone else pay for the kids she did have, either the father she drove out of her life or the government. Mr. Edwards has been responsible for the child the only way women seem to care about, he has covered the bills and stayed out of the way. The perfect modern man.
