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...
So let’s see…if you’re all out of money, the thing to do is spend more money you don’t have. We add that one to the list that says when there’s an energy crisis because gas and oil are getting expensive, you need to keep the oil in the ground and burn food to make the cars go. When America faces an economic crisis from a bunch of companies failing you give the companies a whole lot of money other people have earned from doing other things…and if you find a tenth of a percent of it has gone toward bonuses, be sure and get the word out that nobody can personally benefit too much from saving these companies whose failure would surely be devastating to our economy.
This is way beyond Orwell. It’s a Bizarro world just like out of Superman comics. Recklessness is frugal, frugality is reckless, perverts are normal, normal people are perverts, spending money is saving it, saving it is wasting it, the way to “lead” a nation that is depressed is to talk some smack about it every chance you get (on foreign soil); and the solution to every single problem involving scarcity is to make it more difficult and expensive to produce whatever is scarce.
Update: I was out playing the seventh hole in frisbee golf when I suddenly realized I didn’t give a hat tip on this one. A belated thank you to Dr. Melissa Clouthier, and a shame on me.
