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...
Via new sidebar addition Pigilito, we learn about a priceless smackdown blow-by-blow narrative from Just One Minute…
Geraldine Ferraro states the obvious – being black is helping Barack – and is getting pummeled for it. Of course, Ms. Ferraro is a bit of a flawed messenger here, since one might suspect her claim to history is based entirely on her gender, but then again, few things can rival a Dem Party tussle over identity politics for sheer comedic value.
Don’t wait for the democrat party to be honest here, you’ll just get older.
They are not having a fight about which class of oppressed-person is more “due” to be handed the keys to the White House. That would be silly…but insufficiently so, and not nearly as dangerous as reality.
They’re arguing amongst themselves about something nearly identical to that, but with entirely different ramifications. They are arguing about which class has a better card. Yes, card. Because they figured out years ago that when someone is elevated to a high office with a membership in some kind of oppressed class, whether the historic oppression was real or apocryphal, that person can make intemperate decisions. What a wonderful asset. Stupid, extremist, poorly-advised decisions emanating from a high authoritarian office…a wonderful thing, as long as they’re in your favor.
And legends of historic oppression are great for bulldozing through the resistance that normally rises up in the face of stupid decisions. President Hillary wants to outlaw war, President Obama wants to outlaw money. You see a downside to those? You must be an ist of some kind.

Ha! Brilliant. Unfortunately, in the 100-yard-dash of minority repression (is it fair to call women a minority when there’s more of them than men?), race trumps sex. See the OJ Simpson trial for examples.
