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...
Boortz does such a good job with this one, I can’t see any need, any point, or any way to trim things down. He doesn’t even have his customary stress-puppy mad-as-hell misspellings in this one. All he’s missing is a link to what he’s talking about. Having supplied that, I’ll just read the whole thing in:
JUST WHO IS SCARING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?
This really is rich. The Community Organizer told House Republican leaders that they needed to “stop trying to frighten the American people.”
First of all, the American people need to be frightened .. very frightened. The only people in this country who should NOT be frightened are those who work or aspire to work for government. Right now people totally and completely infatuated with government are in control in Washington .. and if you have an entrepreneurial spirit, or if you would rather work for a dynamic business in the private sector rather than buried in the bowels of some government office somewhere, then you should be shaking in your boots.
Scare the American people? Well … let’s look at America’s jobs machine; the small business. If you’re an American dreaming of a strong economic recovery, this is where it must occur. You need to know that the owners of these small businesses, the people you want to step up and start hiring and expanding, are looking at the following:
* Democrat threats to raise their taxes by 5.4 percentage points to pay for health care “reform.”
* Democrat threats to make them pay a “war tax” to pay for the war in Afghanistan
* Democrat threats to make them provide health insurance to employees, or to pay a penalty if they fail to do so
* Democrat threats to create onerous regulations relating to carbon emissions if the Senate doesn’t pass Cap-and-trade.
* New costs if the Democrats DO pass Cap-and-Trade.
* Democrat threats to remove the earnings cap for Social SecurityAll of these things have lead to a virtual hiring freeze with America’s small businesses. Why aren’t they hiring? They’re not hiring because they don’t know what in the hell is going to happen to them over the next year.
And it’s the REPUBLICANS who are frightening the American people?
You know what’s worse? If you sat Obama down and explained all of this to him he wouldn’t understand.

Reminds me of how Charlie Rangel (D-NY) proposed bringing back the draft, soley to try to turn the public against the war in Iraq. Cynicism at its finest.
Ah, it’s the same thing. We stand up against their ceaseless crusades aimed at remaking the country, and we’re portrayed as the ones on the wrong side of history, standing in the way of progress. We never get credit for halting bad ideas that would be catastrophic if implemented. Then we we come up with an alternative, they call it a “risky scheme” or simply lie that we “haven’t proposed any alternatives.” Assholes.
I hope the good people of Nevada throw Harry Reid out next year. If they don’t, the entire state ought to have its suffrage revoked.
