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...
…with your Justice Department.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Justice said the State of Georgia cannot check driver’s licenses and Social Security numbers to verify the citizenship of prospective voters. The concern was that Georgia’s policy was discriminatory toward minority voters. According to a FOX News/Opinion Dynamics poll released Friday, most Americans disagree with the Justice Department ruling.
When it comes to showing photo identification at a polling place before voting, 83 percent of Americans say they think it is a good idea to require it, because it helps avoid fraud. Only 15 percent of Americans agree with the Justice Department that such a policy is a bad idea.
And supposedly, our “democracy” was coming to a bitter end because George W. Bush thought it would be a good idea to find out what “ordinary Americans” (read that as: terrorists in Damascus or Beirut who’d never set foot on American soil in their miserable little lives) had on their little minds when they were calling up bin Laden’s satellite phone. Yeah. Tell me another.
Now we’re manufacturing voters — even worse, we’re closing our eyes while others so manufacture. Voters say who’s going to be in the government…government says which voters get to vote, and how many times they can vote. Move along folks, there’s nothing to see here.
Oh yeah, only one out of six of you want to move on. Aw well. Vee haff vays uv making you move on.

I don’t see why the DMV or the polling station needs my social security number. I have no problem with requiring a valid picture identification to vote, as long as the ID is trustworthy.

Why?? For the love of…..WHY? In what way does it have ANYTHING to do with the race of the voter? Did someone in Georgia say, “We’re going to check ID’s before someone votes, but only for black people?” No. They’re going to check EVERYONE.
Sounds to me like these voters whom the DOJ doesn’t want looked at too closely, would be the fraudulent ones we have on the rolls courtesy of ACORN. You know, the ones who help tip the balance for left-wing Congressional candidates, ballot measures, and dare I say it….presidential candidates?
Absurd. To say that “most Americans disagree” would be like saying that most Americans disagree with child abuse. No kidding, Sherlock.
Racist, my ass.
