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...
She’s female, she’s gay, she’s a lefty blogger on DailyKOS and so she’s got a huge crush on Guess Who.
I know I’m a Jewish lesbian and he’d probably have me killed. But still, the guy speaks some blunt truths about the Bush Administration that make me swoon…
Okay, I admit it. Part of it is that he just looks cuddly. Possibly cuddly enough to turn me straight. I think he kind of looks like Kermit the Frog. Sort of. With smaller eyes. But that’s not all…
I want to be very clear. There are certainly many things about Ahmadinejad that I abhor — locking up dissidents, executing of gay folks, denying the fact of the Holocaust, potentially adding another dangerous nuclear power to the world and, in general, stifling democracy. Even still, I can’t help but be turned on by his frank rhetoric calling out the horrors of the Bush Administration and, for that matter, generations of US foreign policy preceding.
No, I am absolutely opposed to taking away this delusional woman’s right to say what’s on her mind. But now that we know what’s rattling around in what passes for her brain…seems the rest of us have some obligation or another to protect her from herself. Don’t we? I mean, she’s pretty much admitting to this unhealthy crush on this Kermit character who she admits to knowing, with little doubt, would have her killed if he could. I mean, that’s about as insane as smacking your own forehead with a hammer.
Par for the course, where our good Kossack friends are concerned.

She shouldn’t be surprised. She’s reading from the same script Dinner Jacket is reading from.
It wasn’t written by Dinner Jacket, it was written mainly by European and American Socialists who dispise what America actually is and are trying very hard to bring it down by continuous repetition of their narrative of what it isn’t (but insist that it is).
You know the one … the Amerikkka is an Evil Imperialist Hegomonic Empire of Jingoistic Jew-Loving Christian Zealots Who Hate Brown People narrative.
Now people who are/were Americans have done some pretty shady things, and this plays into the narrative. And America herself has made some mistakes in the past. This also plays into the narrative.
I submit that no country is held to the standards of mistake-free behavior by these people other than the United States herself. This is very telling. It reveals their actual target.
People like Dinner Jacket, Bin Lyin’ Low, and Al-Za-Wild-Hairy are only too happy to pick that script up and read from it to the hoards of Western Believers who treat it as religious text. Then they’ll just sit back while these leftists with the fortitude of a soggy gummy worm do their work for them. After that, it’ll be easy pickin’s when they come in and demand tolerance for their intolerant world view. And since no one will be alowed to oppose them lest those opponents appear to be intolerant…
the world view most willing to use force will win. Guess which one that looks to be at this time?

I haven’t opined much about it, since I’m not receptive to conspiracy theories except for the most passive kind. But I am eyeing the Euro with a great deal of suspicion on the subject of all this global anti-American sentiment. It has a strange omnipresence to it, which I suppose you could blame on George W. Bush, but the omnipresence far exceeds the depth of genuine heartfelt passion. Intense as the outrage is, it feels staged. Smells like money.
And it does seem to have taken a turn since the early-to-mid 1990’s. As if there is some commodity somewhere, speculated to increase in value, upon the fall of the U.S. dollar.
I’m convinced beyond any doubt that whether I’m correct about the financial motivations or not, there are talking points being circulated. Check out the Webloggin thread on the High Prince of Persia…look at those faux-original talking-points…American ideas…not how we treat our guests…we took the low road…head of state. And some Eye Hayt Boosh tossed in as a garnish.
Hope the paychecks are cut on time.
- mkfreeberg | 09/25/2007 @ 15:24Oh, I don’t think it’s a “big conspiracy” — as a single source organizing some master plan. I do not buy into conspiracy theories, either (I read Daniel Pipes “Conspiracy”, though, to try to get a handle on those, like a certain close family member of mine … who do). I shake my head at them. Back and forth, not up and down. 😉
There’s just a lot of “cross pollenation” going on here across interest groups who have anti-US sentiments in common. I don’t think they’re usually intentionally cooperating at high levels. But their booths usually show up in a big line at Earth Day events…. they co-mingle like bee colonies in a clover field.
I believe there is a lot of anti-US propaganda, probably mostly put out over the years by various people on the socialist side of the ledger espcecially during the Soviet years that keeps being re-circulated through these organizations and college campuses and news rooms all over the west … and people like Dinner Jacket, Bin Lyin’ Low, and Al-Za-Wild-Hairy are only too happy to pick up the ball and run with it as long as it meets their needs for the time being.
