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...
Nobody reads this blog…certainly not those kollege kids on FARK, they’re just way too smart.
So don’t tell them I submitted this, whatever you do. It’ll get in the way of that…that…you know, it’s Friday night, I don’t even want to think about what they’re doing, while they log in with their FARK accounts and yell “Shut Up!” and “Out The Submitter!” It’s got something to do with hitting the “refresh” button on the web page every few minutes and debating with conserva telling non-liberals how stupid they are, whatever it is. Quantity of alcohol, and quality, to be determined by the “tuition-and-textbook” budget.
The great tragedy here is that the meanings of “gullible” and “skeptical” have been switched around — a perfect 180-degree angle, as if with a surgical-precision instrument. I wouldn’t dread what’s coming nearly as much, if the cream of tomorrow’s leaders showed off for each other clinging to the same tired old ideas, ideas far older than their teeth…and irreversibly infected with CBTA with regard to the newer ideas…if only they admitted that this is what they’re all about.
But they cling to the tired old ideas, never once re-evaluating them. And dismiss anything new, before they even examine it to a cursory detail. And show off for each other as they do it. Then, when they’re done, they pat themselves & each other on the back for being “open-minded” and “thinking for themselves” as they open another bottle of Jagermeister.
A few years down the road — and that’s your boss. Filling out your reviews, deciding based on which testicle itches that morning whether your name is on “retention bonus, whatever it takes,” or the “that asshole’s making photocopies until he quits” list.
So don’t laugh too hard.
Update: Still lots of activity but it’s degenerated into three things. Calling each other morons over comparisons between carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide; uploading pictures of nice looking women not wearing too much by way of clothes; telling me to out myself and/or to shut up.
I have unkind feelings toward 67% of those.
I swear, it’s just like having an aquarium. Except it doesn’t take up quite as much room, the fish are actually entertaining, and there’s no fish shit to be cleaned out twice a week.
Update: Forgot to go back and link the article itself. There were so many comments within just a few minutes, I thought I’d check back & see if it would “go green” which means no TOTALFARK membership needed to read it…and therefore to open the linked article…I labored under no delusion that this was a likelihood, but I forgot to do the necessary housekeeping.
Your linked article is here. Quite good, although the real entertainment is those drunken college kids in the thread I can’t show you.
101 Freedoms and Rights the Progressive Left Doesn’t Want You to Have
:
1. The Freedom to keep what you earn and spend it as you please.
2. The Freedom to take risks, and live with the consequences.
3. The Right to participate in the political process by donating money to causes you support (like Proposition 8 in California) without being harassed by radicals
4. The Freedom to work in a shop without belonging to a union.
5. The Freedom to use a secret ballot when voting to unionize.
Et cetera.
Hat tip for that one to Moonbattery.
Thanks to Gerard for pointing out my error.

I wish I knew what was on but I gave up kicking five bucks for total fark a couple of years back. Why pay for aggravation when it’s free?
- vanderleun | 04/25/2009 @ 00:01Gosh, I can’t imagine why your post would have upset the little darlings…
Brilliant line on Skepticism and Gullibility, btw.
- rob | 04/25/2009 @ 00:53Two posts in the last five minutes, over there, about how much conservatives and Republicans suck, and how much better the libs are — one here and one here. I was going to write up a post about that, but I refuse to pollute my blog-scroll twice in a row with that filth.
They take on exactly the same tone in victory, that sane people adopt in defeat. The earning-of-approval is never, ever done. It’s never time to roll up the shirt sleeves and actually fix anything. They live out their entire lives in campaign mode.
They are obsessive-compulsive with seeking approval and validation. If it had to do with washing hands instead, they’d scrub down to the bone, and if it had to do with drinking water, they’d burst. We’re living in the one stretch of time in which it would absolutely make the most sense, like never before, for them to stop bashing Republicans for a week or two and get busy helping ordinary Americans…like they claim to be doing constantly. But that isn’t happening. They’re in bash-Republican mode now, which means, they are all the time.
Although to be fair about it, perhaps that Miss-California-Perez-Hilton exchange is what gave them the idea they have something further to prove. Perhaps if that didn’t happen, they’d be directing their efforts toward this change we’re supposed to be able to believe in…
