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...
Wow…
With 97 percent of precincts reporting in Ohio, Clinton had 54 percent of the vote compared to 44 percent for Sen. Barack Obama. CNN made the projection based on those results and exit polling data.
Wish I could work up some excitement about it.
I guess Hillary would kill more terrorists than Barack, and she’s more likely to be defeated by McCain, who in turn might kill more than her. So that’s good. But I dunno.
Liberals don’t like us killing terrorists, and McCain & Hillary both are well-versed in doing exactly what liberals want, after offering lots of bullshit lip-service toward the opposite.
The freakin’ media just loves all three of them. “Real” people aren’t that excited about any of ’em.
You won’t be able to criticize a President Obama, because he’ll be black, and you won’t be able to criticize a President Hillary because she’ll be a woman. But I have the impression the air will be much thicker with the “Who Are You To Say Otherwise” fumes under a Hillary administration. People are elevated to positions of power, and they learn you have to be very careful about criticizing anyone non-white, especially if they’re serving in an office previously filled only by white guys. That’s universal. But “Don’t Pick On The Girl” goes all the way back to the schoolyard.
And so now that our media has picked our candidates for us, I find it quite interesting. The Republican front-runner became the front-runner by stabbing the backs of Republicans. That is the product John McCain has to sell: “I”m not really a Republican.” The democrats, on the other hand, became front-runners because they have cheap gimmicks to suddenly halt any discussion about their ideas, when their ideas are bad. “You’re picking on me.”
I once said somewhere that a good definition of growing-up, is acquiring the ability to make a beneficial and actionable decision that doesn’t really make you or anyone else feel very good. I have the impression that the American people, overall, are ready to grow up. But our media won’t let us do it.
Update: Neal’s pretty excited about it.
