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...
Three-thousandth post, that is. That works out to about 1.7 or 1.8 per day.
Have a wonderful inauguration, everybody.
Godspeed, George.
Good luck in the new job, Barack.
Obamaniacs, I hope, in the week ahead, you learn to accept things as they are — practice makes perfect. It’s one of the prices to be paid for having your guy in charge of things: You can’t whine about being disenfranchised anymore. Kind of a defeat-disguised-as-victory thing…you’ll just have to learn to adapt.
See you in a few days, hotel innernets permitting.
Update 1/19/08: Workin’ pretty good here, and the accommodations/facilities/services are worthy of recommendation overall.
Common theme in all the magazines and newspapers: He’s Still Awesome And Great!!
So odd. The question I think would be on the minds of everyone who still has questions, is: What exactly is He going to do? How He goes about making His decisions, and how His upcoming coronation makes everyone feeeeeeel, by now would be sinking to the bottom of the list. I would further think that among those who would be true converts to the cause at this late date, those not yet on-board such as yours truly, this sequencing would be even more acute — decision-making content first, decision-making how-He-goes-about-it last. Don’t wanna know how He makes decisions. Heard it. Heard it all. Been saturated with it for two solid years.
And yet it keeps coming at us. All of us. Not like a drip drip drip out of the faucet, more like a zoom zoom zoom on the freeway at rush hour. What He’s thankful for. What’s important to Him. How He thinks. How He feels.
Oh well, what else is to be expected in the first year after American journalism truly died. It’ll be fascinating watching the fatigue inevitably set in. Nothing bores so many, so acutely, and so quickly, as a monarchy.

I’m glad your accommodations are decent. Portland is a FUN city, with lotsa good lil brewpubs and such. But… you’ll probably have precious little time to explore if’n you’re there on bid’niz. Such is life on the road in those conditions.
Congrats on #3K. That’s a LOT of words under the syntax bridge… most especially in your case. 😉
- Buck | 01/19/2009 @ 15:26Are you serious? Why, he’s going to change things. That’s why one of my good (progressive) friends’ facebook “status” says, this morning (name changed here to protect identity)….
“Susan is hopeful”.
And then you have videos like this one. Which is kinda creepy to me.
Hey sana, Hosana, sana-sana-hey
Sana Hey sana ho-sa-naaaaaaaaaaahhhh
or …
Hey Bama, Ho Bama, bama-bama hey
Bama hey Bama Ho-bam-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh
To me it just looks like a bunch of self-congratulatory egomaniacism. It’s amazing the lack of specificity attached to all this hopey-changiness. And all of the self-back patting going on.
- philmon | 01/20/2009 @ 13:04Another one of those facebook statuses from another of my progressive acquaintances. (this one’s about the worst of them – name changed, once again).
“Leigh is revelling in this new chapter of American life”
What, the one where we take a giant leap into Socialism? The one where when someone shoots at us we invite them into our living rooms and ask them what they would like us to do to get them to stop shooting at us? The one in which Progressives buy in to any theory that justifies larger government and dismisses any dissent as quackery? That one?
Yeah, thanks. But no thanks.
