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...
From here.
President Obama explained that he felt it was necessary to console Miss Fluke because he was thinking of his two daughters, Sasha and Malia.
“One of the things I want them to do as they get older is engage in issues they care about, even ones I may not agree with them on,” the President said at a news conference last Tuesday. “I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way. And I don‘t want them attacked or called horrible names because they’re being good citizens.”
But by accepting this explanation, one is left wondering why the president didn’t console, say, conservative author Laura Ingraham when she was called a “slut” or Sarah Palin when she was called things far worse than anything uttered by Mr. Limbaugh.
I’ve been noticing something about these apologies and non-apologies, and the Gohmert clip bears this out for the most part. The apologies that are skipped by President Obama, if they were given, the point of error would be traced back to a judgment flaw on the part of no one, save for President Barack H. Obama (or people who directly report to Him). A great example: That silly “beer summit.” Rather than making a “teachable moment” out of it, it would have made perfect sense for the President to apologize for jumping the gun on judging police action in a local matter. It would have been a lot quicker, too. I think it ultimately would have been less damaging to the administration. It would have come off looking like an oh-well. Gee, it seemed to make good sense at the time. I guess when you give a lot of speeches you’re bound to slip up somewhere. Shucks, I’m human, no harm no foul.
But Barack Obama is a demigod, that’s why we make a point of capitalizing the H when we refer to Him. Admitting to an occasionally flawed decision, is beneath Him…so…we had to have a “teachable moment” with glasses of beer. All because He Who Caused The Oceans To Recede can’t admit a mistake.
And the apologies He does have time to give — I haven’t re-scanned the Gohmer clip from beginning to end with just this in mind, but it seems whenever He does issue an apology, it’s an apology for something someone else has done. People try to get me to read His biography, explaining that it’s a “love letter” to America, pointing out things the country must stop doing that it’s doing wrong…I don’t think I like the sound of that, sounds like, as they say, a love letter from O.J. to Nicole. But that fits into the pattern. Every bad decision that needs a re-do, in the Obama universe, is something that was decided by someone other than Barack Obama.
This is not the trait of a personality that makes for good leadership.

Good points, Morgan.
One small point I’d like answered, at the risk of mountain/molehill yada, yada…but didn’t the president call the Slut immediately, like within hours, after she went begging at a fake hearing for people to pay for her sex? Another words, Rushbo hadn’t yet called the Slut a Slut yet, so O’s remarks about encouraging his daughters to be sluts…err “speak their mind” and not wanting “them attacked or called horrible names” is but disingenuous in the least and an outright lie at best.
Sorry if I’ve got that wrong, it’s been bothering me. Did he call the Slut twice then? Must’a interfered with his ESPN viewing.
Damn it, all this slut talk has my mind elsewhere.
Speaking of such, I say it’s WAY past due for a post of scantly clad sluts…err, women going broke because they need to buy a lot of contraceptives.
- tim | 03/09/2012 @ 10:36Well, I put up Roxanne Pallet, I’m not sure what she pays for contraceptives but she sure looks okay…yeah, you’re right. Seven hours to yabba-dabba-doo time, I’ll have to see what’s out there. Tired of thinking about what’s-her-name, it’s insulting to the entire male sex to think this “Rachel Maddow hairdo” person has a financial problem resulting from buying too much birth control…like Sunny said, does she know, when women have sex with other women, this isn’t necessary? Someone tell her!
You made me think of something else about Obee’s comment — this has been going on awhile in looney-left land. They seem to be festooned to a false belief that the inconvenience of free speech for the opposition has already been eliminated, and furthermore, each individual on Planet Liberal in good standing has these magical superpowers that allow that person to unilaterally tweak the rules, on a whim. “I don‘t want them attacked or called horrible names because they’re being good citizens” — what father does want such a thing for his daughters? But, I think, when conservatives try to instill their values in their children and speak out against wrongdoing, there is going to be a message that the liberal counterpart parents don’t include, that when you take a stand on things like this people WILL call you bad names and that’s just the way things go. It’s the price we pay for living in a free society. It seems Fluke-slut, and many among those defending her, never got taught this and never needed to figure it out.
- mkfreeberg | 03/09/2012 @ 10:56Roxanne Pallet WAS THREE WEEKS AGO!!!
Damn it, I want my Slut post and I want ‘em frequently and I want you to pay for it!
You see, Morgan, we need our daughters, (if we had any), to feel that they can pose suggestively, in a civil and thoughtful way, without people calling them horrible names because, you see, they’re being good citizens.
Now, I gott’a go, and calibrate my laser like focus…on…something…where‘s that marshmallow launcher? Golf anyone? Vacation, kids…?
- tim | 03/09/2012 @ 13:27Yes. More sluts, please. Those wholesome, soccer-playing, overly-clad bimbos ain’t workin’ fer me.
