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...
I love it when someone comes up with an analogy that works in so many different ways. FrankJ, capturing an accurate and concise picture of exactly what’s going on, as only he can.
It’s like you’re hungry, and the Democrats are like, “Here; eat some crap. Yummy crap. Mmm.” The Republicans, on the other hand, have cheeseburgers. Sometimes they’re really good cheeseburgers you get at a sit-down restaurant that is like a steak between two slices of bread, but more often than not it’s just McDonald’s cheeseburgers…here’s what you’re constantly told in the media:
“Yay! Crap tastes so great! Everyone loves eating crap!” “The new choice of smart people: Tasty tasty crap.” “All the trendy Hollywood types are eating crap and they’re loving it.” And if cheeseburgers gets a mention it’s like:
“News report: Cheeseburgers give you cancer. Scientist recommend eating crap instead.”
Lest anyone think FrankJ is inventing a strawman for his argument, let them inspect closely Rachel Lucas’ link to actor Stephen Weber’s latest…uh…whatever you call it about the upcoming veep-debate…
[Gov. Sarah Palin] has her fans, guys who respond to her pulchritude like drugged lab rats and dunderheaded women who can’t look past Palin’s gender to see her other disqualifying traits, like she’s a dolt. If being a woman was all it took to engender unflinching loyalty, why not have one with actual political experience, like Eva Braun or Madame Nhu? That they’ve been dead for some time should only be a speed bump on the way to shattering that glass ceiling, ladies!
Joe Biden may have his hands full with this Every Gal. He can’t use his superior intellect and experience against her lest he come across as a meany-bucket. He can’t patronize her or kill her with kindness because Todd might think the Senator’s flirting with her and beat the hair plugs off him. No, he’s got to play this just right. When the Repustules’ successful strategy has been to set the bar so low that even krill would be pissed off if they inferred that anyone thought them unqualified to be elected to high office (see George W. Bush, 2000), one must tread carefully.
If only those who think convicted murderers are more deserving of life than unborn babies, would have nominated someone better qualified to be our next President. Their skins wouldn’t be quite so thin.

Yes, it’s an ongoing problem too. Republicans will complain about the cheeseburger endlessly. Too many pickles. Not enough pickles. And what about condiments? There are those who would live or die over ketchup! And if it is not to their liking, they’ll sit out the meal. Meanwhile, the Democrats can’t get enough “pudding”. It’s so good, no one should be allowed to eat anything else. I’ve known many Republicans who decided to teach the Republicans a lesson, because the cheeseburger was not to their liking(Earmarks, Tariffs, and Illegal Immigrants, oh my!). None of them had a taste for the “pudding” they ended up eating, and in fact spent years complaining about how nasty the “pudding” was. And still, given the choice between a dry cheeseburger and a warm sack of “pudding”, they hold back and hedge their bet. They’ve had better cheeseburgers. Maybe if the cooks have to close down, the next restaurant will have a Real Cheeseburger……. Makes my head hurt.
