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...
Smitty has shoved our opposite words project into second gear, and is now at the forefront of the effort to catalog all the creative ways our left-wingers have found to say the exact opposite of what they really mean.
Or not…he may not be aware we’d thrown the project into overdrive elsewhere. Personally, I have selected numbers 9 and 10 as the scariest ones:
9. When a hyperliberal starts to talk about the freedoms we take for granted you’d better be careful, because he’s about to start pushing a bunch of laws that will deprive you of freedom.
10. When a hyperliberal starts to talk about putting together a society “that works for the benefit of everybody,” the society he starts describing always has rules that are designed to bring harm to certain groups of people.
And now we see the word “patriotism” has something to do with hating your countrymen.
Liberals sure do like opposites. Maybe they carry an enthused fondness for things that have two sides…having done most of their thinking on a virtual Mobius strip.
Whenever they start talking about a “fair” society that works for everybody, I cannot help but wonder where they’re going to put me after they get rid of me.

Why do folks that call themselves “Liberals” in England differ so greatly from folks
- CaptDMO | 08/31/2010 @ 08:01in the US that USED to call themselves that, before folks that NOW call themselves Libertarians reclaimed the original meme, and forced the paracitic collective to
assimilate NEW names for “duplicitous parasite”?
Now that “racist”, “homophobic”, and “feminist” no longer mean anything of value, what’s the NEW jurno-list style book lexicon gonna’ be? Can we go back to Chauvinist?
Somebody let me know so I can have my business cards reprinted, yet again, BEFORE those union print shops get overwhelmed with rush copies of “new” proposed legislation, and the 2012 election posters. THAT should begin in …8…7…6…5…4…

- What Is The Take On The 02Oct ONWT Event? October Surprise Overture? : The Other McCain | 09/03/2010 @ 07:50Hayek called these terms weasel words–as a weasel sucks the egg out of the shell while leaving the shell intact. His number one complaint was the very word “social”, and he listed 161 social eggs with the yolk sucked out, the first being socialism.
Joseph Schumpeter, describing those who began to call themselves liberals earlier in the 20 century–As a supreme if unintended compliment, the enemies of the system of private enterprise thought it wise to appropriate its label.
They did pretty well in calling themselves progressives even before that.
In current vogue is the use of “reform” in place of destruction.
An old standby is Affirmative Action for affirmative discrimination.
This could be quite a list if we put our minds to it.
