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.

Via Rick, we find not only is Hillary out to take money away — earned money, before it even lands in the wallet of the person to whom it rightfully belongs — but she’s criticizing her competition for not doing the same.
Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she might be willing to garnish the wages of workers who refuse to buy health insurance to achieve coverage for all Americans.
The New York senator has criticized presidential rival Barack Obama for pushing a health plan that would not require universal coverage. Clinton has not always specified the enforcement measures she would embrace, but when pressed on ABC’s “This Week,” she said: “I think there are a number of mechanisms” that are possible, including “going after people’s wages, automatic enrollment.”
Clinton said such measures would apply only to workers who can afford health coverage but refuse to buy it, which puts undue pressure on hospitals and emergency rooms. With her proposals for subsidies, she said, “it will be affordable for everyone.”
Ladies — how does it feel, knowing future social scientists and historians, laboring to trace the death throes of America back to a starting point of decline, will land on the day we gave you the right to vote?
Please understand, myself and others are in favor of you keeping it. But toss us some ammunition once in awhile…a reason we should be glad you got it, why it shouldn’t be taken away again. So far all we got is Hillary and her so-called husband…maybe Jackie Kennedy and her pink pillbox hats…and Prohibition. And that’s before the bill is to be paid — looks like it’s going to cost us dearly.
You know what the real tragedy here is? Most folks, among the ones who consider themselves independent and open-minded but need to have it explained to them why this is a bad thing, will launch into a discussion about whether people should have healthcare coverage or not. The idjits — it doesn’t matter how the money will be spent, it matters that whether the state can take control over it, and what trifling gripe the state has against the rightful owner just before they take it.
Ya oughtta be covered…sheesh. The issue might as well be what kind of music you listen to on your car radio. This is exactly what Swift was parodying in Gulliver’s Travels with those kings arguing about how to open an egg.
P-R-I-V-A-T-E – P-R-O-P-E-R-T-Y. That means you decide…and Hillary’s against it. Yes, Hillary, Obama’s not as radical as you are on this issue. Know why? Because he’s a man…men can’t get away with transforming the United States into a communist regime overnight. But you’ve got your gender card, and all sorts of brainless dolts you’ve bamboozled into thinking it’s all about fallopian tubes, and not about issues.
And our current President, I’m told, is a threat to our “civil liberties” because when we catch terrorists, they don’t get frosting on their cinnamon rolls…and the Patriot Act is being used to bust drug dealers. Here’s a major candidate, widely considered to be a front-runner, talking about taking our paychecks away if we don’t live our lives the way she wants us to.
And she expects by her saying this, that her chances will improve. And who’s to doubt her? She probably knows what she’s doing, and imagine the implications of that.
Just amazing.
Update: Boortz is predictably just as incredulous as I am…
So let’s quickly review what would happen to you, the loyal taxpayer, if you choose to purchase your own healthcare, rather than relying on the government to provide it for you.
Scenario #1: The government takes you to court in order to pay. Hillary says that “garnishing wages of people who don’t comply” is an option. That means that there is a court-ordered process to take property from you in order to satisfy your debt to the government. The government takes your property in order to use your money for the service of others (in this case it would be healthcare). Sounds fair, right?
What we have here is a clear indication that Hillary considers you and everything you possess to be the property of the U.S. Government.
Scenario #2: Using the tax system as enforcement. I could think of a really easy way to eliminate this option. Wouldn’t it be great to take away that power from Hillary? If she no longer had the IRS and our convoluted tax system to satisfy her socialist agenda, imagine the power you, the people, would have.
Scenario #3: And the last scenario would not give you any option of whether or not you would like to have government healthcare. It would be mandated. Where did your freedom of choice or individual responsibility go? If Hillary has it her way, you wouldn’t have any, would you? That’s just the way the single women – I’m sorry, unmarried women – want it.

Sorry Hillie. Can’t find anything in the Constitution about health care, gummint or no. Nope, not in that little extension called the Bill of Rights, either. You know, the extension that states insisted be there before they ratified the Constitution. So no garnishing my guns, either.
Little Miss “I support the second amendment …. BUT, …”
Before you know it, they’ll have universal food coverage, too. Then it’s a matter of universal house coverage… and then we’ll look just like … what was that country… reds. The guy with the shoe and the podium… um… oh yeah
Back in the U.S.S.R.
