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...
Via Cassy, we learn of a DailyKOS kid who lets loose on what’s really bugging him about the US of A.
And with apologies to my friends in Canada, he claims to have been talking to one of yours…and, having grown up within a stone’s throw of your border, by reason of experience from those olden days which I’ll leave unexplained here — this is why I believe this is not a joke. Don’t be too offended, I like some of your beers.
You Americans Aren’t Selfish Enough
by LithiumColaYou pay all these taxes but you don’t want anything in return for it. You don’t want free health care. You don’t want time off of work. You don’t want anything. You’re not selfish enough.
You get mad when someone is taking welfare and sitting on their ass. What have you got against sitting on your ass? The whole point behind having a government and paying taxes is to have more time to sit on your ass. That’s what technology is for. You Americans work longer than anyone, pay all these taxes, make all these robots, and then not only don’t you sit on your ass, but you get mad when anyone else does. You’re fucking crazy.
You say, “people on welfare are lazy.” What the hell is wrong with lazy? Do you want lazy people to starve to death? Don’t you want to be more lazy? Don’t you want a hobby? Why not?
Again, I could understand that if you weren’t paying all these taxes, I guess. But you are, and you seem like you don’t want anything for it.
I see it over and over again and yet it continues to take me by surprise…just a little. But the left is everlastingly consistent. It has a message. When it comes to propagating that message, all work is worth doing (note that our KOSKid took the time to type this in…without a robot, I presume). All enemies are worth confronting.
Outside of propagating that message, no work is worth doing and no enemies are worth confronting. And that brand of nihilism — this is the surreal part — is the message.
It is self-reproducing, exponential expansion of quantity — with no quality. Do…whatever it takes…bear any burden, pay any price…to spread the word: No burden worth bearing, no price worth paying. Let the robots do it.
