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...
Because there is some truth in this — it’s a Thing I Know, after all, not a “thing I kinda sorta suspect might be true and someday I should maybe check it out” — my remarks in the post previous could be fairly regarded as somewhat reckless.
I should watch what I say. Yes…
Now, let’s juxtapose.
Hillary Clinton has risked a huge backlash after sympathising with those who rioted in support of the officials caught up in the Penn State ‘abuse’ scandal.
The Secretary of State said she could understand the ‘passion and emotion’ of the students who flooded the streets and overturned cars when they learned football head coach Joe Paterno had been fired.
She said that two members of her own family had gone to Penn State and made the team so she could appreciate their point of view.
Her poorly chosen comments are likely to enrage the families of the victims, who are still coming forward with fresh accusations.
Paterno was fired along with assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, who is accused of molesting boys over 15 years and raping one in the shower.
This is not an attempt to hide behind the excuse of “Yeah, but this other person over here did the same thing.” That would be completely lame. Besides of which, the two cases of intemperate commentary are not the same…
Hillary Clinton is our current Secretary of State. She holds our nation’s highest diplomatic post.
I, on the other hand, am nothing more than the Chief Cook and Bottle Washer for The Blog That Nobody Reads.
