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 Best Sentence I’ve Heard Or Read Lately (BSIHORL) award goes to Mike_M, commenter (#1) on the cross-posting at Right Wing News of the What’s Barry To Do Now? piece. The subject under discussion is this massively deep hole into which The Chosen One has ensconced himself — at last report, The Messiah has forsaken Will Rogers’ advice and is still digging — due to no external factors whatsoever, besides the meanness endemic to his “tolerant” supporters. His stockpile of electoral ammunition and tools, lackluster and lightweight from the beginning, is notably lacking in any instrument that can effectively deal with this situation and he’s left twisting in the wind, three or four percentage points behind, as Election Day hurtles down the road like a juggernaut, with no way to turn this thing around at all.
Mark’s point, as I understand it, is that the situation is even worse than that because — well, it’s a little silly that Obama is put in the position of competing with the vice-presidential nominee on the oppositing ticket, but since he is — we get to see every single week how differently he deals with a crisis, compared to Sarah Barracuda.
Palin is for all intents and purposes invincible because she’s not going to play the victim or go crying to the media for a break. The media has savaged her and her family in an unprecedented fashion, and she barely seems to notice. Obama calls the Justice Department when someone runs an ad he doesn’t like. [emphasis mine]
What better way to hammer that point home, than to offer an honorable mention in the BSIHORL award handouts to Dennis Miller for something he said earlier this summer on his “Miller Time” segment.
Again: The perspective changes; what is noticed, remains constant.
I don’t even notice the color of his skin, I do note the thinness of it though.

Ha! Yeah, I remember hearing that. I think I actually caught it on a YouTube video of that particular Miller Time segment. That was priceless!
We get Dennis Miller here, but only an hour segment of his show, and it doesn’t come on at a good time for me to listen to it. So I’m a Dennis Miller Zone subscriber. I listen most days.
As for Mike_M — that was well said as well!
