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...
Old Iron at Naked Writing is awesome. Look what he found, and over at Time Magazine yet. Remember Joel “I Don’t Support the Troops” Stein, the American Castrati?
Our favorite little progressive punkweasel went back home and found out Tom Wolfe was right. Where, oh where, did all the white faces go??
Yep. Right. But it doesn’t get really outrageous until he puts together his obligatory hasty half-assed apology for it.
Eventually, there were enough Indians in Edison to change the culture. At which point my townsfolk started calling the new Edisonians “dot heads.” One kid I knew in high school drove down an Indian-dense street yelling for its residents to “go home to India.” In retrospect, I question just how good our schools were if “dot heads” was the best racist insult we could come up with for a group of people whose gods have multiple arms and an elephant nose.
Now, how many times have we had this feeling about our left-wing friends — they aren’t as offended as they pretend when they hear racist comments, their objections are rather rote & ritual & devoid of real passion…but they get extremely upset at you if you show your lack of schooling or sophistication. Learn some decent racial epithets you neanderthal you. Until then, you just don’t belong!
Onward to what I promised, the dessert course. The afterthought that was supposed to repair the damage of what came before.
Hold on to your hat, here we go.
I was trying to explain how, as someone who believes that immigration has enriched American life and my hometown in particular, I was shocked that I could feel a tiny bit uncomfortable with my changing town when I went to visit it. If we could understand that reaction, we’d be better equipped to debate people on the other side of the immigration issue. [emphasis mine]
Get that?
If we could form a better understanding of Joel Stein’s resentment against people with dark skin in his back yard, we will be better equipped to debate the other people who do not agree with Joel Stein. That would be those of us who think on the issue with sufficient clarity to distinguish between legal & illegal immigration. Now that open-borders-dude Stein has been caught red handed showing as risible a streak of genuine xenophobia as anybody, this tragic incident will help everyone to understand the others.
Where to begin.
Edward Carnarvon was a very decent white guy, Mr. Stein. In fact, since he was royalty, someone bothered to write down the date of his demise, 1327, and some conjecture about how it occurred. Legends have since sprung up around it, which are probably not true…but it occurs to me that this would be a very decent treatment for the likes of you, just to let you know how much we on “the other side” appreciate you passing your bigotry off on us. The more I think on it, the more I realize the sentiment cannot be expressed effectively by any other means.
I’m sure if someone did indeed shove a red hot piece of iron up his butthole, that guy was probably decently white too. So you wouldn’t have to worry about a demise at the hands of four-armed Ganesh.
Like I said at Old Iron’s place: ”Speak for yourself fuckwad” doesn’t even begin to cover it all.

I admit it is hard to find peculiar individuals like him in other races, and yet we have so many. Maybe another two generations of Double Income No Kids will take them out of the gene pool before they can take us out of it.

Why don’t the Union Labor folk at the International Brotherhood of Stage Employees, Projectionists, and Allied Trades, as well as Actors Equity, DEMAND that lying leftist agitators pay them union dues/annuity before plying their trade in print, on camera, on radio, or on stage?
How many claims of “That was taken out-of-context…”, or “merely anecdotal”, make up a bona fide fatal conceit?
