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...
That’s how I captioned this graphic over at the Hello Kitty of Blogging…exactly, caps included…except without the courtesy-asterisk.
“Creepy” hits the bulls-eye. That’s exactly what it is. Creepiest thing I think I’ve seen all year.
A bunch of Obama loyalists reviewed this with the idea in mind that they would send it out over the e-mail to Obama supporters…like me, heh heh…who had failed thus far to sign Our First Holy Emperor’s birthday card. I know they had the idea of doing this because that’s exactly what they ended up doing.
What’s creepy is that not one of the persons so assembled — not one! — saw fit to say something like “Em, er, maybe this isn’t such a hot idea.”
Of all the people in human history who have enjoyed consistent wins across time, their sense of judgment is most deplorable. Of all the persons with deplorable judgment, they have enjoyed the longest winning streak. Their decisions are going to continue to be stupid and idiotic, as long as this winning streak persists…in fact…it is the nature of things that, should the winning streak continue too far into the future, or too vast a stretch of time rolls by while nature offers them no suggestion that they’re screwing up and need to clean up their act…their decisions are going to become DUMBER. They will ratchet in that direction, with each call being dumber than the one that came before, always and all the time, never smarter, downward and downward until the moment of reckoning comes, like a bowling ball descending thousands of feet through the ocean. Until the impact which is inevitable, no stoppage, no slowing, no change, just more and more downward dumb-ward motion. They will keep on keepin’-on until the day comes that they lose at something.
I hope they blow it for their party and for their agenda, more than for the country.
But this picture shows we are very, very far gone. I’d like to know what these people do, exactly. I wouldn’t trust them to run a leaf-blower over a sidewalk, if I hated the sidewalk.
And yeah, if I had some friends or relatives who supported Obama and were somehow still on speaking terms with me, I’d expect them to go along with that.
Thing I Know #408. You can’t aspire toward success if you won’t spot the fails.

Anyone familiar with the Book of Revelations will know about “the mark of the Beast,” without which (it is written) no-one will be allowed to buy or sell. I’ve done some thinking over the years about what that could mean, especially with the speculations I’ve heard in certain circles about what it could be – UPC barcodes, social security numbers, etc etc.
I suspect it’s none of those identifiable, outward marks at all. The true mark is the reason why these chumps have such a track record of “winning” even when they actually screw up very badly – badly enough that people die, that millions are put out of work, that ruin follows in their wake as surely as self-adulation. That mark is the unwillingness of anyone to stand up and call bullshit, for fear that they’ll be audited/harassed/disliked by the current winners. It isn’t a mark imposed from without on the unwilling, it arises from within. The mark of the Beast is the mark of the quisling.
