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...
The time has come for this one…
This guy voted against Barack Obama and he’s really sorry he did it. He’s got a friend who voted for Barack Obama, and he’s really sorry for that. They meet up with Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, and the four of them walk down the sidewalk…repentant McCain voter, repentant Obama voter, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
They see a ten dollar bill just lying there. Which one of them picks it up?

I’ll take a stab at it.
The Obama voter since he has the “Change” to give the rest their $3.33.
- tim | 12/22/2009 @ 13:00gotta be the repentant Obama voter, the other 3 are are characters that don’t exist
- dijon | 12/22/2009 @ 13:09The answer must be the repentant Obama voter because the other 3 are fictional.
- mountaintime | 12/22/2009 @ 13:21I’ll guess that it’s the repentant McCain voter, since the repentant Obama voter, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are all mythical creatures.
Seriously, the Barry voters I know still believe that he farts cinnamon scented rainbows.
- Physics Geek | 12/22/2009 @ 13:42Nice try, PG. Welcome to our two new posters, and congratulations you nailed it.
Bush/Cheney, Kerry/Edwards, Gore/Lieberman, Dole/Kemp, Bush/Quayle, Mondale/Ferarro…so many tickets, both victorious and otherwise, had their repentant supporters who were heard to say afterward “wish I went the other way.”
In the aftermath of McCain/Palin, it doesn’t seem any of us are looking back wishing we made a different choice. Zero percent. That hasn’t happened, I daresay (since I’m pulling the statistic pretty much outta my ass…but still…) since Ford/Dole.
We’re all just siting around, watching all this, saying “Mmm, this is a little bit worse than I thought it would be.” Other than that there’s no surprise and no regret.
- mkfreeberg | 12/22/2009 @ 16:44I must have a lousy sense of humor, I didn’t get it at all until I read the responses.
My mother sent me an email this morning, she typed away at length on a Discovery channel program about the life of Jesus she had recently watched. After three long paragraphs on the amazing scholarship (!?) of the show she ended it with a one line sentence:
“You know, Obama is just like Jesus, they’re both community organizers for the poor and downtrodden who live without a ray of hope.”
Needless to say, coffee sprayed all over the screen and it seriously crossed my mind to have her immediately committed to the nearest nuthatch.
I’m not having much of a sense of humor about Obama, his ugly wife, his staff or those grimy midgets doing the devil’s work on Capitol Hill.
Bah. Humbug.
- Daphne | 12/23/2009 @ 12:34The joke is on people like your mother, just in a round about way. People like her think Obama is like Jesus — only because that’s what they were thinking back when they first heard of Him. That is what is necessary. Obama has no power to sell anyone on the bullshit who wasn’t initially inclined to believe it already. He cannot create any converts. No one votes against Obama and then later says “Oh no wait, that was a mistake.”
Well, like you Apple people say about us PC types…if something has to be explained to us, we’re never gonna learn. Maybe that applies here. 😉
- mkfreeberg | 12/23/2009 @ 15:38My mother is insane and she’ll never get the joke. She voted for McCain and listens to Rush religiously. Do you see what I have to deal with here? One program on Jesus and she’s all over Obama like white on rice. I’m gonna snatch that woman bald by Christmas evening if I stay sober.
As an Apple person I have never uttered a bad word about you PC people. I just quietly pity you.
