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.

The word that appears in the title of this post, I hereby suggest be given a new official meaning. I suggest it be re-defined as “calling things what they really are.”
More specifically, “calling things what they are without a bunch of bullshit euphemisms.”
If we can agree on that, then I agree with the majority that she is manifestly unqualified.
“Qualified” has a new definition lately too, I notice. It has something to do with finding fancy, creative, innovative new ways to make up look like down, wet look like dry, malevolent look harmless and reasonable look silly.
Thank God for “unqualified” people like Sarah Palin.
And I’ve just about had it up to here with the “qualified” people. I’m afraid I’ll be hard pressed from here on out to see the Q-word the same way ever again. Day by day, I’m starting to see it as “Qualified…to offer me some pleasant alternatives to facing reality.”
Mental grown-ups don’t need people “qualified” like the leaders we have now. To a mature, capable adult, it will be an invigorating change of pace watching the corrupt bastards get called out as corrupt bastards.
And I’m very happy Palin is as “unqualified” as she is.

Today I posted a word for the day.
It is Sarah’s word. It’s one of the things that “they” point to to show us how “Unqualified” she is.
I like Sarah’s word. It came to me last night. That is what today is about.
Word for the day: refudiate.
- philmon | 11/02/2010 @ 07:08Sarah Palin–a breath of fresh airhead.
I honestly don’t know how to respond to people who bash Sarah for being unqualified. Let’s forget (oh, how I wish I could forget) the senior executive–does anybody think that Biden exemplifies qualification? Seriously? What are you seeing that I’m not?
- Jason | 11/02/2010 @ 09:46Qualified?
Like what? A “degree” in contemporary woman’s anthropology, and two summers “interning” with a gay politician?
A lifetime of achievement in writing sophmoronic (sic) humor for the 18-30 year old demographic? (Well, there’s ALWAYS MSNBC)
Is it true that the folks who can’t pass muster in business school, and so, garner a certificate of attendance from a law school, yet can’t seem to win their cases, resort to a double “fallback” in politics? And failing THAT, move down to MSNBC/ PBS/” Latest Studies” advisory rolls?

- House of Eratosthenes | 11/15/2010 @ 18:49[…] agree Palin is unqualified — if we recognize a new definition for the word. If the job does require lots of bullshitting, she lacks the skill and she lacks the […]
- House of Eratosthenes | 11/16/2010 @ 08:19[…] people who fall for that, will turn around at breakneck speed and start denouncing someone else as unqualfied — and, from all the evidence we will see made available in that turn of events, it seems they […]
- House of Eratosthenes | 02/25/2012 @ 11:35[…] as our President? Gasp! The horror! I’ve seen this in midterms, too; in 2010, I had noticed the word “unqualified” was taking on a strange new meaning. If you told things the way they really were, without trying to dodge the truth with diplomatic […]
