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...
That particular phrase just creeps me out the more I hear it.
Saw someone say over the weekend that this is the only way we can have a good economy, or a comfy economy, or a rosy economy, or something…nothing at all to back it up, no evidence or reasoned thinking whatsoever. Just pure prose.
In a lifetime of listening to this phrase, I’ve not yet been able to wrest a definition straight from the horse’s mouth. I have said before, however, that I’ve been able to glean one: “The class of people who are in approximately the same financial circumstances as the person or people being addressed by that politician in that particular moment.”
Looks like a crab-in-a-bucket mentality, to me. Doesn’t this thing we call an “economy” consistent of, or rely on, advances made by the crabs who occasionally crawl out, and in so doing, cease to be middle class? We can debate about how commonplace that is, but it does happen; isn’t that something we should like to see happen more often?
How come the beltway types never see fit to discuss that? No glowing vaporous rhetoric about the “growing rags-to-riches class” or “growing better-mousetrap class”?
How refreshing that would be.
