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...

Remember that neocons like Norman Podhoretz and Daniel P. Moynihan were former left-wingers who saw the light — which only seems like common sense, after witnessing Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, the Kims (Dad and Junior), and the whole mass-murdering gang of cutthroats.
After the Soviet Union crashed and no one could possibly ignore the bloody mess the Left kept making over seventy long years. So why didn’t all the decent Leftists just read their Milton Friedman and grow up?
That’s what the so-called neocons did, and more power to them. I take it as obvious that they were correct and morally decent, in learning to see how wrong they had been. They grew up. My question is: What happened to all the others?
My guess is, you’re dealing with an old & a young. The young weren’t born early enough to go through what’s described above. Not all of it, anyway. It is not lost on me that in this list of watershed events, the ones that happened most recently were the ones that got the least attention; you have to be a bit of a news junkie to understand what’s wrong with the Kims. All these verifiable stories of atrocity — they are drowned out by the pulsating desire to vent hate at the right people…like American Southerners for example.
And the old? Those who can tell you where they were when Pearl Harbor was attacked?
Simplest reason first: It’s the Ted Kennedy crisis. They learned if they can give away truckloads and truckloads of other peoples’ money, or visibly support such massive giveaways, they’ll look like decent human beings when they really aren’t. Path of least resistance.
