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...
Vexorg was the winner of the sixteenth Best Sentence I’ve Heard Or Read Lately (BSIHORL) award awhile back. Commenting on all the weirdness at Seattle’s hempfest, he said, in reference to all the tatoos and piercings and weird hairstyles and clothes and music having very little in common with themselves, besides dysfunctionality:
This is the type of religion you end up with when you think you don’t have one.
This ties in with current events very well, one sees when one ponders a recent quote from Melissa Clouthier…
Evidently, way too many people have a life absent of a real God.
But Melissa is not talking about Seattle’s hempfest. She’s talking about something just a bit more scatterbrained, if you can believe that.
Feast your eyes. It’s become an “everyone else is blogging it, I might as well do it too” thing so perhaps this isn’t news to you. If it is — put the drink DOWN, then press play.
Via blogger friend Cassy, we learn of a fascinating comparison that has been put up at Stop The ACLU. Hmmm…
“Creepy,” it’s been called. It is that, but I think it’s something else. It is bone-chillingly frightening. Imagine…tens of millions of people have their egotistical energy full invested in the idea that Obama, if he isn’t actually a demigod, is at least a walking manifestation of Morally Correct Thinking. They are not capable of admitting, on any level, that Obama can make a bad decision…or even, a decision any less than the best one possible. Ever. They can’t admit this intellectually, spiritually or emotionally.
Millions of them!
Is this dangerous? Well, we saw it already in Obama himself, with the surge thing. He stalled and stammered to the point of becoming a parody of himself. Couldn’t admit his previous statements might have been up for an overdue re-thinking. Couldn’t even admit the possibility. Would’ve been too bruising to that Messiah image.
He’s got a more-than-decent shot at being the most powerful man in the civilized world for the next four years.
I can’t think of anything more dangerous. Can you?

We’re going to need more ammo than previously thought.
- vanderleun | 09/30/2008 @ 23:29What’s going on? This is the second video in the last day or so that I presume contains some choice footage of Obama that was linked-to on a blog but which, when I go to play it, comes up with the message, “We’re sorry, this video is no longer available.” My hunch is that the Obamabots are working overtime.
- Grizzly | 10/01/2008 @ 01:03Hmmm … sorry for the last post. Apparently it is available now. Might have just been the server temporarily unavailable. Not that I trust the Obamabots …
That said … definitely creepy video. I can’t believe that the kids have the faintest idea what they are singing about.
- Grizzly | 10/01/2008 @ 01:31What the hell is happening to this country? Things are getting seriously weird and uncomfortable.
May (your) God help us.
- tim | 10/01/2008 @ 08:54Grizzly, YouTube seems to have a lot of “generalized” error messages and I’ve long ago concluded the “Not Available” thing is one of ’em. Could be just about anything. Server, circuit, some router in the thousands of miles between the video & you. And, of course, you have the rare occasion where it means what it says. Makes for plenty of confusion at times, as you found out.
tim, when He’s ready, He will. He is perfect, but humans are not. We’re like alcoholics, we have to hit bottom before we do anything to improve. That’s what we get for eating that apple when the woman said we should.
