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...
That’s the name for the Washington DC tea party yesterday, given by Daily KOS commenter darthstar.
If you think that’s hateful, get a load of the overall subject of the thread on which s/he comments. Spend a few minutes on it. I can’t tell you to read it all the way from top to bottom, since I gave up halfway through myself. But these are deranged, deranged people…and the government we have right now, is catering to them. How concerned should we be.
Malkin sets them straight.

Well, I was at a local one yesterday, and I have two bachelors degrees from a major state university, and I went with a good friend who has a PhD in History and has taught at a major state university for many many years.
So I, for one, have to wonder where they are getting their data, and why such culturally tolerant people who celebrate diversity have a problem with people who don’t.
Actually, I don’t wonder at all. They’re self-righteous, self-important, self-centered snots.

Duh. They’re “enlightened” because they hold certain policy positions, and don’t even attempt to understand the other side or why anyone would disagree with them.
Read the wonderful comments attached to this little gem about a town in KS which is contaminated by mining waste:

Three pages of comments and ONE, count them, ONE sane person speaking out. The rest are just a bunch of blather about what a bunch of hypocrites we on the Right are supposed to be because we don’t support a communist takeover of the entire healthcare industry, but a couple of Republican Senators (Brownback mostly) think that yes, the federal government ought to clean up the mess IT MADE while digging lead out of here in the early 20th century. In their enlightened eyes, we’re….hypocrites. As Ann Coulter says, it’s the Left’s favorite charge, right out of the Alinsky playbook: “Force your enemy to live up to his own standard, then blast him when he can’t.”
Comment after comment of sneering about “corporate greed” and “Where’s your free market solutions NOW, wingnuts?” Some of them go on to suggest that we ought to just let these poor people die of cancer because, gasp, they live in a RED STATE! Flyover country! Creationism! Bible Belt! Right wingers! Aaaaaah! Hello, dumbasses…these people are BROKE because they can’t sell their houses that sit on this poisoned, worthless land!
I’d like to throw the “hypocrisy” charge right back in their “enlightened” faces: Where is the “compassion” for these people, who through no fault of their own, are watching their parents and children die of cancer and lead poisoning because YOUR wise, benevolent federal government refuses to help them out? Because it prefers to send the EPA out and do another “study” aimed at eventually cleaning the soil instead? It’s OK to spend 1.2 TRILLION to “overhaul” the health care system, but not to spend 3.5 MILLION to save these people’s lives? And we on the Right are the hypocrites?
