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...

FOX News just put on what may very well be the most valuable “news bumper” segment I’ve seen in years. I hesitate to call it “informative” because it makes a point that is only obvious, and should’ve been under discussion all along. The point had to do with fact checkers who check facts after a debate closes up or a campaign advertisement spot comes out…rhetorical question raised was, who checks the fact checkers?
In sum, what really matters, is this: These “non-partisan” fact checkers look at the same facts, in different ways. They come to different conclusions. And the segment had examples to offer. Obama knew William Ayers: This fact checker says that’s true, that fact checker comes to the conclusion it is false, this other one takes no position. So it isn’t good enough to just rely on one fact checker, record the conclusion, take note that they are “non-partisan,” wash out all the details and call it good. Yer bein’ used. Maybe not even deliberately…but you’re becoming a useful tool if that’s all you’re doing.
