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...
LATimes Blogs Top of the Ticket:
So, is California’s brittle Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer about to become the next Harry Reid? Which is to say, embattled at home.
As [Senate Maj. Leader Harry] Reid worked the wallets of San Francisco on Presidents’ Day to raise money for his endangered seat in Nevada, some stunning new Rasmussen Reports poll out today makes a compelling point:
For the second straight month the three-term senator is unable to break the 50% mark against any potential Republican opponents, the historical measuring mark of vulnerability for an incumbent nine months before an election.
For a Democrat in a Democrat state that gave Barack Obama 61% of its votes in 2008 (and still likes him more than many other places) to be mired in the mid-40’s is a sign of real trouble. This is especially so given the fact that disgruntled voters gave Democrats control of the House, Senate and White House in 2008…
Abboutfuckingoddamntime.
I don’t know which is worse: The votes that seem to be cast according to the absolute direct opposite of my own likings, as if the Senator was spying on me to find out what would tick me off the most; the non-responsiveness from her office, “replying” to my messages with more democrat party talking point boilerplate crap; or the twice-monthly embarrassment from when she says something truly, truly asinine and brings discredit on any & all who might possibly be associated with her. It’s that crazy-cat-lady smell. Just has a way of rubbing off on you after awhile.
Prelutsky nailed it.
Frankly, I don’t know what it is about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I’m not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we’re number one. There’s no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on ‘Macbeth’. The three of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of speech. You don’t know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words.

I remember reading that (probably here?) a while back.
That’s pure poetry, Prelutsky.
- philmon | 02/16/2010 @ 08:05Yeah I might be turning into a broken record on this. Hopefully the beat-a-dead-horse metaphor comes closer. I want to look back on this at the end of the year and say to myself “yeah that was just stating the obvious.” The embarrassment is palpable. People on other blogs find out I’m from California, and…gyah.
There must be an explanation somewhere for what Prelutsky has noticed. Someone, somewhere, is trying to say something, and maybe if we can simply offer them some other way of saying it we won’t have to be continually mortified by these hags.

MOST excellent. Best damned thing I’ve read lately.

beautiful.
- pdwalker | 02/16/2010 @ 17:55I’m a bit confused. The quoted article is talking about Dingy Harry, not Box-Your-Ears. How exactly does she enter into the discussion?
- cylarz | 02/18/2010 @ 01:44Ah, bad job of excerpting on my part. “The three term Senator” does not refer to Reid, although I gave it the appearance that it does. I go fix.
