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...
…but have you ever stopped to think…just how many things would normally capture our attention, in a healthy way, that we’re ignoring only because President Obama’s appearance is so polished?
The results of His policies. The policies themselves. Historical evidence, or lack thereof, that these policies might be swell ideas. All the metrics that measure the results of His policies. Who are His friends. Why they are. Who are His enemies, and why that is. In fact, if you’re the type of person who ignores policies & results altogether, and only values people for their speaking ability, wardrobe, mannerisms, gestures, speechifying, et cetera…even you, have been blinded from even your favorite fixation. Go on, which member of the Obama administration apart from Obama Himself, really captures your fancy? Biden. Geithner. Clinton. Holder. Go through the entire cabinet. What one single face, apart from the Big Guy, would you present to a stranger as a symbol of the competence of this administration you helped vote in? They’re all buffoons, and they all come off that way.
But at least the Man On Top really knows how to deliver a speech. At least we, as a country do have that one thing…if nothing else…if no policies that actually work for us. We at least have a likable guy within that cloister of buffoons, who knows how to come off looking sharp. We have that one thing.
Isn’t it interesting how the same people who used George W. Bush’s gaffes as evidence to bolster their claim that he was an idiot think Barack Obama is some sort of saintly intellectual and oratory genius?
Despite the fact that Barack Obama isn’t really so good at the speaking thing.
* He’s shown he can’t function without reading from a teleprompter… repeatedly.
* And the word heard most often in any speech or interview he gives is “uh“.
* He apparently doesn’t know the difference between privacy and piracy.
* He can’t properly pronounce the name of a company he uses as an example to bolster his policies.
There is much, much more beyond that…go have a look.
Take an inventory of the sum total of what our nation has working for it. If you dare.
