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...
From time to time I hear about “angry white males.” It occurs to me that simply requesting some evidence to substantiate this theoretical phenomenon, observed first-hand, is to deal it a devastating blow, especially since probably ninety percent or more of the times I’ve heard this phrase have been since the 1994 elections.
Other than my father and my brother and my son getting mad at me for various reasons…why…thinking back on it, I’d have to say the last angry white male I’ve ever seen was Archie Bunker. Oh, and my fifth grade teacher Mr. Vanderpool got really upset with something one of the other kids did.
These are interesting musings on which to think in 2008. This year is five-twelfths of the way over. And I’ve seen so very much anger — so very, very much anger. The term “angry white male” seems to me to be misplaced right now. I thought it was misplaced in ’94. But it seems even more misplaced now.
What holds my fascination even more than the various directions from which it comes, is where it is sent. Anger I have seen this year is a very pragmatic type of anger. Most of it, one way or another, is connected with the primary victim selection process going on within the democrat party. Who’s the whiniest victim among us? Who should run everything? That the weakest, whelpiest sniveling whine-job should make all the critical decisions, is something on which they’re all agreed…they disagree vehemently on who that is going to be. Black guy. Woman. Black guy. Woman. Back and forth it goes…
Where is all that anger directed? It is pointed at whoever, it seems, is about to win the chief-whiny-democrat sweepstakes, to the annoyance of those showing off the anger. This year, it’s just the same old story over and over again.
And from that, I daresay I’ve seen enough anger over the last five months, to put a big dent in all the anger I’ve seen in all my days previous to that.
Angry white males? Maybe it’s time for a lot of other folks to ask, in unison with me: Where, exactly?

I have left a small monument to your shreds of anger at my own page.
