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...
It was put up on the White House Flickr page. And how come that is, anyway?
Another Black Consevative comments,
Personally, as a photographer this shot would have been in my discard pile. The reduced size image makes Obama look sleepy or worse yet, tipsy. Sleepy or tipsy looking images of the president should be an automatic red flag to discard the image for any photographer.
Even the high resolution version leaves much to be desired. Obama looks like he has contempt for Biden (given the Joe “The Gaff Machine” Biden’s performance this year, that maybe a possibility). This again reminds me of how this administration seems to have become oblivious to the images they project to the public.
But…but…but…when you put people in charge who are obsessed with image, sure you might lose out on substance. But you at the very least always get the awareness of image, right? Right?
Or the image of awareness?
Guess not. I guess sometimes you sacrifice all other competencies for that one thing, and then you lose that one thing as well.
Ready to call it a failed experiment yet?

Lots of people are not. When I tell you that lots of Obama voters still think he hung the moon, you probably think that I’m full of crap. And while that may be true in many cases, this is not one of those cases. Their response flies in the face of all reason, logic and evidence.
I guess you CAN fool some of the people all of the time.
- Physics Geek | 01/04/2010 @ 06:08I wore the “Hope He Fails” tee shirt to dinner last night. The hostess who found our table commented repeatedly how much she liked the shirt; she voted for Him but was sorry she did. So she’d be part of the “ready.”
The female half of the couple we met, would be part of the “not.” Of course the one point most worthy of an outburst of passion, would be that stupid, stupid, stupid Sarah Palin. Yeah, I said, we don’t want any dumb ol’ girls running anything.
Seriously though, I’m curious: How do you Palin-bashing people, in all seriousness, rate the intellectual acumen of Mouthy Joe? The answer came back: “His Experience.” And I said, well I’m not arguing about him, I’m honestly wanting to know, and you didn’t answer my question. How would you rate him? Above average, superior, average…? Or is he a big ol’ dummy, too? “His experience.” Okay. I see. She was cornered, and changing the subject was the polite thing to do.
You are correct. I think the results at this point are split. Sarah Palin could invent a warp engine today and these people would go to their graves swearing she’s dumber than a box of rocks…and Biden has “experience.” Or they don’t recognize his name.
