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...
Lest there be any doubt that Fred is the one, consider this: Meredith hates him.
View video here.
Meredith riffed off Russert’s “credibility” line to take her next shot.
VIEIRA: Well you know you talk about credibility. I want to read you something that New Hampshire Republican chairman Fergus Cullen said about Thompson. He said that the voters in this state are interested in this guy, but, and here’s the but, “for Thompson to go on Jay Leno the same night and be trading jokes while other candidates are having a substantive discussion on issues is not going to be missed by New Hampshire voters.” So it’s possible the decision could backfire, isn’t it?
Russert observed that the influential Manchester Union-Leader has been saying much the same thing, and that “there’s no doubt about it, Thompson has some work to do.”
Of course we all remember the way “Today” roughed up Hillary the morning after she chose to announce via a fluffy chat-on-the-couch. Or not.
Stick a sock in it, Meredith. I’ll tell you one think that wasn’t missed by this voter: A whole gaggle of supposed “Republicans” tittering away…how did you put it? “Trading jokes?” Yeah, doing that, about the one candidate who wasn’t there because they were so pants-crappingly scared of him AND they knew this was the last time they could disparage him without having to worry about a ricochet beatdown.
WONDERFUL. In 2007, politics is all about “we all agree on who the target is, let’s see who’s best at throwing the pie.” Isn’t that just great? The one habit that, since December of 2000, had the least to do with actually solving any of the problems anyone wants to see solved, and it has propagated to bipartisan status now.
Fred, here’s to ya. Hope you show them they had something to worry about all along. You can probably come up with a much better witty comeback on your own. Mine would be something like “I fail to see what any of this has to do with keeping illegal aliens out of the country or killing more terrorists.”

Democrats hate Fred because he’s not one of them. Republican candidates hate Fred because he’s very good on camera and they are not.
- Duffy | 09/06/2007 @ 14:50I think I like Fred. I thought I might.
I read what all the pudits had to say about his Jay Leno announcement. Then I watched the clip for myself.
I should’ve watched it for myself first. He said all the right things as far as I’m concerned, from Iraq to Iran to America, to what he thinks about the “debates”.
I’m fer ya, Fred. He talks like an American, not like he’s trying to impress Europeans and their Europhiles.
