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...
President Obama’s plan to inspire the nation’s schoolchildren with a video address next week erupted into controversy Wednesday, forcing the White House to pull out its eraser and rewrite a government recommendation that teachers nationwide assign students a paper on how to “help the president.”
Presidential aides acknowledged the White House helped the U.S. Education Department craft the proposal, which immediately was met by fierce criticism from Republicans and conservative organizations who accused Mr. Obama of trying to politicize the education system.
White House aides said the language was an honest misunderstanding in what was supposed to be a inspirational, pro-education message to America’s youths.
I had come up with five ways to have a lot of fun with this. The idea of my little darling applying his own creative-writing exercise to this, and handing in gems like the following, made me positively giddy. Now, I’m afraid, it is not to be:
1. I could send President Obama an e-mail about anything I’ve heard that might seem a little “fishy”;
2. I could find him another “spiritual leader” who’s a flaming bigoted asshole, just like that other guy he can’t talk to anymore;
3. I could give him a few lessons in how to be humble, it seems that might do him some good and he really doesn’t know how at the moment;
4. I could take flying lessons, hop in a plane, and fly it real low over Manhattan scaring the piss out of everyone;
5. I could find out the names of some people who haven’t been paying their taxes, so he can nominate them to cabinet positions.
Oh well. Life goes on.

You could also find him a couple more self-avowed communists and communist sympathizers like Van Jones and Mark Lloyd to help round out the table of White House AdviCzars.
