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...
How Liberals Fight Terrorism
If the following is not made into a Republican campaign commercial, and the Republicans do indeed lose, then some careers in Republican-campaign-land need to come to an inglorious and permanent end:
“(House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s) opening statement covered a full range of Democratic issues: fiscal responsibility. The minimum wage. The trade deficit. Student loans. Health care. Energy independence. Social Security. Medicare.
Then came the questions. “This is now the third election in a row in which they’ve raised security issues just before the election,” the first questioner said of the Republicans. “Why won’t it work for them a third time?”
…”This is what, I guess, campaigns will be about,” Pelosi conceded with some reluctance. “It shouldn’t be about national security.” [emphasis mine]
You know, that could have fit on a bumper sticker. “It shouldn’t be about national security” with a grinning, psychotic donkey face right next to the words, caricatured in a hybrid sort of way to offer the Minority Leader’s more outlandish facial features.
Does this absurd woman do anything in her personal life? By her logic, when you drive a car, it shouldn’t be about staying on the road, and when you cook it shouldn’t be about making something edible.
Anyway. The article is just chock full of surreal quotes like the above. Prepare to be amazed.
Update: I’ve been subscribed since early summer, I think, to the Democratic National Committee’s newsletter. Howard Dean has gone way out of his way to make sure I understand, in explicit detail, exactly how he and his party will stand up to that most nefarious of world threats…the Republicans.
On what his party intends to do about terrorists, I haven’t got a clue. He doesn’t seem to, either.

When Nancy Pelosi says the campaigns shouldn�t be about national security I agree with her, but only in an idealistic context. I wish we didn�t have any enemies threatening to annihilate us. I wish the world were at peace. I wish the war in Iraq was over, and our affairs in the Middle East were concluded to the mutual benefit of all. That�s not the way things are. Right now national security has to be of great importance, whether Nancy Pelosi likes it or not. Although I might agree with her on this minor point, I have zero confidence that she is capable of effectively dealing with the situation. Nancy Pelosi and most democrats I see remind of the Nowhere Man in the Beatles movie about the yellow submarine, the one who sucked everything around him out of existence, including himself, with his overpowered vacuum cleaner.

I think you’re going to find what the Minority Leader meant to say, is it’s really hard to work up a lot of angst about cost-of-living allowances and subsidized healthcare premiums, when terrorists are blowing things up. And it’s up to our elected officials to tell us not to think about them, Wizard Of Oz style.
According to that premise, she’s correct in saying George Bush has done a thoroughly miserable job.
