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...
Wisdom from my Hello Kitty of Blogging account. I probably should’ve put it here instead, in the first place. It’s too short for a post but too long for a Thing I Know:
If you are to be cursed with abject stupidity in all things save one, and in that one thing you will be compensated with superior wisdom but it can only be one thing, and you get to pick it, you should pick: The ability to tell creative efforts from destructive ones. If you are a wise savant there and an imbecile in all other things, you will be money-ahead.
Not only is that a more important strain of good judgment than all the others, but it is elusive and fleeting. A lot of people are missing it. They see other people building things right in front of their eyes, and they’ll swear that person is a destroyer, but cannot coherently name anything he’s destroying. And they see someone else destroying something, again, right in front of them, and recite some brain-dead litany about the wonderful things that destroyer is “building.” But they can’t name what exactly it is that he’s building.
The loss of the ability to tell building apart from destruction, is the great tragedy of our modern times.

Militant 19th century Russian anarchist Mikhail Bakunin once said: “The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.” Which seems deep and profound if you’re an infantile narcissist. Which explains why it’s the default attitude of the left.
