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...
Just saw it on O’Reilly Factor, and New York Daily News says it’s true…
Go get ’em, Dirty Harry.
“[E]verybody’s so screwed up. It seems like our country’s in kind of a morbid mood, because of the recession or whatever.”
We’re “becoming more juvenile as a nation,” he said. “The guys who won World War II and that whole generation have disappeared, and now we have a bunch of teenage twits.”
We have been on an ascent. Now, maybe we no longer are.
When you’re on an ascent, there is responsibility involved. There is also a certain deprivation, which calls for a certain resourcefulness; you’re laboring from a lower point, on up to a higher one.
On a descent, there is no sense of individual obligation because it’s widely understood we’re descending. Nobody feels a responsibility to get out of the way, or get in the way.
And there’s no demand for resourcefulness because you’re sinking from a higher point down to a lower one. To whatever extent good old-fashioned creativity may be in supply…the demand for it is less than that.

It’s easy to form a mental picture of Eastwood saying something like this. Not hard at all.
And not that I disagree.
