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...
Cassy’s pretty disgusted. I started listing reasons why I disagreed with her, and by the time I was done I realized I didn’t.
Hawkins declares Obama a huge winner. I’d like to disagree with that one. I’ll have to go over everything later. Hope he’s wrong.
Melissa says it’s an Obama win, but notes that Mr. Socialist was forced to admit he’s a socialist. I hope that’s more significant than she gave it credit for.
Althouse is neutral for now. She’s disgusted by many of the same things that disgust me, so I hope she’s in the majority on this.
Stephen Green says McCain won, but not by enough to matter.
Anchoress agrees with Cassy, saying: Worst. Townhall. Ever.
There is something about our nation’s upper legislative chamber. Everyone ensconced therein seems to be afflicted with “moderate” disease. The story’s always the same: “All this partisan bickering’s goin’ on, and I’m going to dive into the mosh pit as Mister Moderate and forge compromises!” Hey look. Republican senators are opposed to partisan bickering; democrat senators are opposed to partisan bickering. They’re all on record. If they meant what they said, we’d see an end to partisan bickering overnight. And yet, since Jefferson vs. Adams…we’ve had red-hot partisan bickering every goddamned day.
In fact, what does the White House have to do with gray areas and neutrality? Seems to me, the U.S. Constitution is making a practice of yanking every important decision that truly matters, out of the legislature and jamming it into the White House where someone with balls will deal with it. That means no, or very little, equivocating. That means when Brokaw asks if the Soviet Union is an “evil empire,” Barack Obama’s answer is “well, they’ve certainly done evil things”…that’s what we don’t want at 1600 Pennsylvania. But that’s not Barack Obama equivocating. That’s a typical senator spewing his bullshit.
My idea of a constitutional amendment: Senators cannot run for President. They have to resign, and then wait a long time to rinse that beltway neutral-gray crud out of their systems. Seven years, at least. Then they can run.
Because the President is an executive. And you can’t be an executive without calling things what they are. A legislator, sure. But not an executive.
Update: Screw this. It’s degenerated into nothing more than another demonstration of how & why people come to hate politics. I’m ready for a serious case of Attention Deficit Disorder.
Let’s browse some bikini ice fishing pictures (click the pic).

I call it Ivory Tower Syndrome..
They have insulated themselves from reality.
I saw it when I was working at alliance gaming.
I see it in our schools, our military, our corporations and our politicians.
I even wrote an article about it awhile back.
The solution to all of our problems is to force the CEO and the Politician to get out and meet with a different group of their workers every day.
For our politicians, they need to be forced to go to a differrent town in their area every day and they can never revisit a previous one until they have visited every town in their area.
This is why they make laws that have absolutely nothing to do with reality.
