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 latest winner of the Best Sentence I’ve Heard Or Read Lately (BSIHORL) award is Adobe Walls, who comments poignantly at Bob Belvedere’s place and thus earns a post linking back there. And here as well.
The biggest problem for Conservatives is that none of our leaders are as pissed as we are or, if they are, they are afraid to show it. Trump isn’t going away unless and until somebody can capture that anger. Trump is expressing that anger without really giving policies that address that anger. Until somebody does that, get used to seeing Trump on the news and in the Blogs day in and day out.
It still doesn’t seem to me, though, that self-identified “conservatives” have a shot at winning this election. They don’t have the numbers right now and they’re not going to have the numbers in November of 2012.
For the vote to be wrestled out of the grip of Obama, it is going to have to be decided by people who are paying more than they want to for gas, and understand it is Obama’s policies making it that way. But of course, for that to work, that selection must be made out of the people who need to pay for their own gas…
So now is it a bit clearer why democrats don’t like individual responsibility?
But that first sentence, that’s the Best Sentence. The conservative movement does not have any leaders who seem to be as pissed off as the people within it. Liberals don’t have this problem, I notice. Candidate Obama actually got points for being smiley, sophisticated, mature…”no-drama Obama” they called Him.
He came out on top after liberals evaluated His ability and potential to sell things.
Conservatives evaluate their candidates on their ability & potential to fix things. See, that’s an important difference. It is not one that works to conservative advantage.

I wanna draft Allen West…HE’S as pissed off as I am.
- Patvann | 04/24/2011 @ 13:39My choices for the GOP ticket are Herman Cain, Allen West, & Sarah Palin. No particular order.
I know it’s hard to see just how pissed off the people in “flyover” country are when you live near Sacramento, but trust me, if someone came out talking like Ronald Reagan (and Allen West comes the closest so far) and enough conservatives in the trenches make their friends aware of him, we could have a landslide election.
But if Romney, or Gingrich or Huckabee or some such pseudo-conservative gets nominated, it will be four more years of Obama if the country can last that long.
- Moshe Ben-David | 04/24/2011 @ 18:03You have inadvertently hit on the conservative tragedy: it is in his nature to fix things. But what is he fixing? The ideas of the Left. They do not eliminate them, they fix them.
