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...
Confirmed: We are in the middle of a revolution, after which, you will not be allowed to notice good-looking women are good-looking. Even America’s First Holy President is not safe.
“You have to be careful to, first of all, say she is brilliant and she is dedicated and she is tough, and she is exactly what you’d want in anybody who is administering the law, and making sure that everybody is getting a fair shake,” said [President Barack] Obama. “She also happens to be by far the best-looking attorney general in the country — Kamala Harris is here. (Applause.) It’s true. Come on. (Laughter.) And she is a great friend and has just been a great supporter for many, many years.”
Does merely stating the obvious make the president sexist? More wolfish than sexist, I’d say. And this may be a little problem he needs to work on.
No, I don’t think so. I’ll defend the President on this one. If He’s falling all over Himself gushing over her job qualifications, and in the middle of all that happens to notice she’s good looking, there’s nothing wrong with this. And I have to say, I’m rather suspicious of anybody who thinks so. When the PerfectWorldTM doesn’t have any good-looking women in it, or the good-looking women it does have, nobody’s supposed to notice how good-looking they are, my interest in living in that world plunges downward even further.
It’s the kind of social-revolution objective that can’t be stated: “We want to get rid of pretty women,” or “We don’t want anyone noticing out loud that women are beautiful.” The best job you can do of polishing that turd is “We don’t want women judged on their looks,” but there you run into the same problem feminism always has: Too much control. Nobody is supposed to judge women on their looks, anywhere? From sea to shining sea? How many deputies do you plan to hire for that enforcement project?
It’s also sexist, in a way. Think about it: Once you’ve made sure women aren’t judged for their looks, are you gonna do the same for the fellas? Oof. There’s a project. And it’s a check mate; if you say no, you’re discriminating, and if you say yes…well, you have to fight a lot of people. Feminists, among them.
Woman walks into an office to begin her day shift, her male co-worker points out she’s wearing a nice outfit. Is that okay? The real answer, if feminism wishes to be sincere about it, is: It depends on his looks, and whether she’s attracted to him. Hey, it’s the truth. Men have a lot more latitude if they’re not creepy-looking. Gonna busy yourself with fixing that problem?
No? Didn’t think so.
Might as well face it. There isn’t a thing in the world wrong with what the President said.

And this is why academic feminism, aka cultural marxism, distaff edition, is pure distilled evil: It forced me to type the words “Barack Obama is right.”
Gonna need to do a lot of drinking this weekend to get over it.
- Severian | 04/05/2013 @ 06:29I guess my question is exactly who are the flat chested, low self esteem, plain-at-best, folks who apparently have merited NO appreciation for any personal integrity that they are threatened by ANY such assault on a “political” appointment?
And who are their fellow beta champions?
He might have gotten more milage if he simply said “THIS nomination of mine is the best woman for the job”.
“And she is a great friend and has just been a great supporter for many, many years.”
Doesn’t THAT negate anything else that was said?
Kinda like that handsom Kennedy candidate that women voters swooned over “appointing” his brother.
While we’re enduring the latest sudden “democrat”/”feminist” loud minority diversion, how’re those Obamacare tax “exemptions”, labor numbers, waning gun “control” (with “assigned” uniformed prop background) campaign, “sequester” closings, N. Korean four-o’clock-in-the-morning call things going? Better than the LAST ones were “handled” I hope.
