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...
Malkin in the lion’s den. Christ said to go where the sinners are, after all.
Moral equivalence, moral equivalence and more moral equivalence. “Whaddabout Bush? Whaddabout Bush? Whaddabout Bush?”
The depths to which some descend to avoid admitting they made a mistake…just amazing.
Here, here’s a shot of perspective. What do they say about us, and refusing to admit a mistake? Invading Iraq, right? Just so obviously the wrong thing to do, and we draw snickers when we refuse to admit it. Our tender fragile egos just get in the way, huh.
But — you don’t hear us yelling “Whaddabout Johnson?”
That’s because our side considers doing the right thing, to be several magnitudes removed from acquiring license to do the wrong thing. We haven’t been spending our entire lives looking for these licenses, so we don’t have this overstuffed inventory of excuses…”Yeah but that’s my private life so it doesn’t count”…”You’re a racist”…”I was abused in my childhood”…”Aw gee the other guy did something just as bad”…”I’ve only been President for six months”…”It was a botched joke”…”Yeaaarrrrggghhhhh!”
Right’s right. Wrong’s wrong. Conservatives are unreasonable and rigid that way. Just like life.

Is she not a brave one? I mean, she’s got bigger balls than most men. I mean that in a good way.
“health czar meeting in secret..”
“…we don’t know that”
“exactly my point…”
unbelievable.
- pdwalker | 08/03/2009 @ 22:45Yup, she’s definitely in a wholly different league. Everyone at that table is the product of an environment, but one comes from an environment in which arguments are logically strung together and the others come from an environment in which words are used to make noise.
You know what, now that you’ve jogged my memory Mr. Walker, I know exactly where I’ve seen this before.

- House of Eratosthenes | 08/04/2009 @ 06:48Glenn Beck could learn a thing or two about how to handle yourself on The View from Michelle Malkin. Glenn went there thinking there was going to be rational discussion and a give and take conversation. He was (and we should be) polite, but he was way too polite — allowing himself to be stomped upon. Perhaps old fashioned chivalry played a role as well.
Michelle went in with no misconceptions. She knows exactly what The View is all about, and good on her. She held her own and then some.
I did note that in both cases when “The Women” were confronted with the fact that both Malkin and Beck were critical of Bush & McCain — it drew pretty much blank stares. “That does not compute.”
In their world “right-wingers” are A) Republicans, B) Pro-Everything-About-Bush, C) War Mongers, D) Selfish and Greedy or watch NASCAR in their underwear, and E) Eat little babies sprinkled with dried kitten dust for breakfast each morning.

- philmon | 08/04/2009 @ 10:31I prefer my little babies with spotted-owl spleen, myself. Kitten dust covers up that yummy blood taste, and it’s fattening too. I have to kick puppies and sweet little old ladies for hours to offset the calories I take in from the kitten dust, and it gives me a case of the trots anyway. Ruins my Sunday night cross-burnings.
