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...
One Lieutenant, one Sergeant, one officer and one reserve officer.
From here.
Yeah, I’d hate to see this kind of thing turn into a partisan my-turn-your-turn tit-for-tat spat. I think this has already happened to the impeachment process…and that isn’t good. But, on the other hand, it certainly can’t be a bad thing to attach some consequence and deeper thought to this “fly off in Air Force One and be seen someplace” thing…
Our First Holy And Gay President, for awhile now, seems to envision this as the solution to every little problem. Re-create the “Xerxes descending from the throne platform” scene in 300…and that’ll do it. Even if “it” is too much carbon in the atmosphere from all these planes flying around, the solution doesn’t change. Fly somewhere and give the most awesome wonderful speech ever.
Mixed feelings about the gleeful attitude. Seems like something we shouldn’t be wanting. But on the other hand, if there is a corrective course that’s possible, that is bound to be the start of it…and, there’s a reason I find it hard not to relish it. I share in the sentiment. Sometimes, the rational, reasoned response does feel kinda good.
In fact I’m not sure it would be a bad thing if the bill went unpaid, and it turned into a big ugly stinky (re-election year) mess.
I don’t like having a Xerxes in charge. That’s not the way it’s supposed to work.

This looks more like an overt clash in the governmental turf wars. As the money runs out, every level of government will start looking to pillage the others to pay for their debts. We’ve already seen this in Illinois, where the state has shut off the spigots to the municipalities, and they scramble to replace that funding they took for granted.
Good luck rearranging the deck chairs.
