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...
Gateway Pundit points to the Facebook page of the former Governor we’re all supposed to stop talking about, but which everyone seems to be discussing, everywhere, all the time, with no let-up in sight.
Imagine our surprise when reading media reports today that the “One Nation Tour” has been cancelled. Why didn’t anyone tell me? Oh, wait, that’s because it hasn’t been cancelled. (Good ol’ media… you never cease to amaze!)
As I said myself at the end of the east coast leg of the tour, the summer is long, and I’m looking forward to hitting the open road again. The coming weeks are tight because civic duty calls (like most everyone else, even former governors get called up for jury duty) and I look forward to doing my part just like every other Alaskan.
I wouldn’t think it to be such a slow news day that, what with numerous wars and serious economic woes concerning Americans, a bus is driving news stories today. The next leg of the tour continues when the time comes. In the meantime, no one should jump to conclusions – certainly not the media with their long track record of getting things wrong or just making things up.
Can we just stop pretending?
If, after these last 34 months, the Palin flash-in-the-pan finally fizzles out for good — there will be a renewed lease on life for the career of whoever tells us about that first. That situation pushes up the value of Palin news among the left. Nothing else can and nothing else does.
To acknowledge the plain truth of that, is to acknowledge Palin has some potential for driving the outcome of future events.
Now there are many on the right who are convinced Palin’s influence on future events, is toward the negative. “Nominate her, and it’s another four years for O, guaranteed!” You’ve heard that before. But I don’t think those people carry much demand for the Palin-finally-gone-for-good storyline. I don’t think their hyperactivity and adrenaline glands are driving this much. I think most of them are sincere and they view her as a distraction. I know, from talking to them, they’re frustrated that no other strong candidate has emerged. I think they want that process to continue. They’d like to see Palin disappear, but they’re not passing up stories about O.J. Simpson confessing to a murder, to get to a story about Palin losing her moxie.
It is the left that views the neutralization of Sarah Palin as a watershed moment. And this plays right into their true individual motivations. Everyone wants to be the next Woodward/Bernstein…the one lone voice in the crowd who figured out what’s going on first. And remembered that way.
How many “Party Like It’s 1773” moments have they suffered by now? They don’t care. They’ll keep embarrassing themselves over and over, each time with more gusto than the time before.
