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...
If you don’t already know about this, Neal Boortz has been soliciting ideas for new lyrics to John Lennon’s song “Imagine.”
I can get behind this idea a hundred percent. In America, you can say whatever you want without fear of oppression from the government as a result of what you said — the “fire in a crowded theater” rule notwithstanding. Now this does not, I repeat NOT, mean that America has a set of principles galvanized against treacherous thoughts from within. Quite to the contrary, America is like a fragile flower that needs to be nourished and watered, constantly, by the culture embraced by the people who live here. It can’t be transplanted to just any ol’ “soil” and be expected to bloom. Nobody in the know, ever said or implied such a thing. America, before it is a country, is a set of values — and without those values, it is sure to come to an end.
And if you love America, you can’t love the original lyrics to “Imagine.” Not if you’ve really thought your cunning plan through. Go on, look up the original lyrics. That just isn’t the way things work here.
So have a look at the revisions, and I suggest if you come up with some more you go ahead and let Neal know. You don’t have to mention The Blog That Nobody Reads, but if you’ve got some good work I’d certainly like to be copied on it in case it doesn’t make the cut over there.

Imagine there’s no hippies,
It brings tears to your eyes,
No socialism,
Only people who try.
Imagine all the people
Paying their own way.
Imagine there’s no Muslims,
Determined to kill Jews.
No crazy Mullahs,
Looking to target you.
Imagine Islamofascism,
Simply swept away.
You may say I’m a caveman,
I’m a grunting neocon.
Just remember, when you say it,
That I’m carrying a loaded gun.
Imagine no loony libs,
Stealing half my pay.
No-one taking my rights away,
‘cuz I’m not black or gay.
Imagine all the people,
Getting what they’ve earned.
You may say that I’m heartless,
- muttley | 12/17/2006 @ 15:16That I do not give a damn.
I hope some day, you’ll realize,
That leftism is just a scam.
