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...
AP reports Chambliss is ahead; Fox has just called it for him. That would end the democrat party’s hopes for a filibuster-proof supermajority in the Senate. Even if Al Franken is going to win in Minnesota, which it looks like he’s not gonna do.
I’m almost sorry. I am sorry. This is the weakness with the American political system, that it is so hard for one party to be in charge of everything. I think we’re just about at the point where that’s working against us. Properly implemented, liberalism would indict and convict itself within a single election cycle, but if it’s opposed, or even watered down a little bit…instant talking points. Thanks to the filibuster, that’s what we have here. The democrat party policies will piss in their own boots, and come 2010 they’ll be all…”the reason we couldn’t fix that was the Republicans filibustered.” Or threatened to filibuster.
It is an interesting thought exercise, in my mind, to ponder what would happen if we went twenty-four months just doing everything the democrat way. Lots of cities already do this. Garbage needs to be collected – well, what’s the most liberal way we can collect garbage? What’s the most liberal way we can zone this district? I don’t mean to say there is a liberal or conservative way to zone a district – but boy, howdee, they sure do try to find a way. San Francisco, I’m looking at you.
What if we did that? Put the democrat party in charge of everything, without appeal, without recourse, without filibuster, and most importantly of all, make sure everyone everywhere knows the democrat party is running the show.
This guy butchered two hundred girl scouts in broad daylight while his neighborhood looked on in horror? Rough childhood. Let him go.
Iran wants to build a nuke? Let ‘em. Get rid of ours.
Tax the rich at a hundred and five percent.
Pay for abortions. Give out prizes.
That mail clerk at city hall who puts a sign on his counter saying “Merry Christmas?” Sue his ass off. Sue him to death. Put his heirs in the poorhouse until the day his youngest great-grandchild faces mandatory retirement.
Register anything more powerful than a child’s pop gun. Track down whoever isn’t buying his share of carbon credit vouchers. Home in on those bastards like a heat seeking missile, and show ‘em how unfriendly an IRS audit can be. Flog Joe the Plumber in the public square on a regular basis like the English did with Titus Oates.
Fairness doctrine? Make a whole new cabinet-level position to enforce it.
Minimum wage. Maximum wage. Make ‘em the same number. Hundred percent death-tax. Take away everybody’s car. Pass Directive 10-289. Pay criminals to not misbehave. Force colleges to admit nine illegal aliens for every legal citizen admitted, and then force that legal citizen to pay the tuition of the nine illegal aliens, plus fifty percent.
Just do what the cities do. Every little thing you can do a left-wing way, do it that way. For two solid years.
Until we hear those six magic words that ring true over all the wreckage in San Francisco, Davis, Seattle, Chicago, Washington DC, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera…
“Can’t blame conservatives. There aren’t any.”
