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...
Blogger friend Cassy dug up an old prayer from a couple weeks ago, to be delivered on bended knee before the nearest shrine to The Lightworker.
I’ve officially been saved, and soon, whether they like it or not, the rest of the country will be too. I will follow him, all the way to the White House, and I’ll be standing there in our nation’s capital in January 2009, when Barack Obama is inaugurated as the 44th president of the United States of America. In the name of Obama, Amen.
Yeah, I think it’s serious. I’d like to think it’s satire, but I have no reason to.
Good heavens. What’s going on here?
Well — the answer lies in the lack of commitment by the Obama/Biden ticket to actually fix anything. We aren’t going to end racial tension once and for all by swearing in Obama. Everybody understands this is true. Talking points are already being rehearsed, right now, that the racists will have won if we fail to re-elect President Obama in 2012.
If the democrat party runs everything, it will deal with “global warming” very much like the dog who caught the car. There is no goal there. None at all. Ditto for the economy. They might shoot for making it not suck…but if they fail even there, they’ll just say they “inherited” a bunch of problems from you-know-who.
More than one “princess” has been raised to womanhood on Brothers Grimm fairy tales, convinced that once she cuts the cake and zips off to the honeymoon, life will be wonderful and perfect. And then been subsequently disappointed to learn all about the responsibilities of adulthood, from diapers that need changing to husbands living life for the moment, waxy yellow buildup, divorce lawyers, etc. Said princesses were brought up to deal with life by not believing in it — by looking forward to a complete eradication of all the exigencies and uncertainties that go with the living of life. That’s where the slobbering Obama fan is. That is precisely where the Obama fanbase is. They think the Chosen One will place his hand on the Bible, take the oath, and everything will smell like unicorn farts.
That’s the weakness of their campaign, right there. They have found a replacement deity, because they’ve needed one; and they’ve needed one, because they don’t understand the first thing about any of the issues, foreign or domestic.
Gov. Palin, if you’re reading this, that’s your advice for tonight. Every single issue has a goal, a vision, and a strategy for getting there. Take over Gwen Ifill’s job, and pepper Biden with questions about these. Because he’s guaranteed to be missing all of those; especially the strategies. He and the Lightworker can’t afford to have any.

Current events (in the extension of mortgages to those who should not have) can at least provide the young voter with a sobering lesson, and just in time.
If you expect there to be a financial system in place when you, the 18-24 year olds, will need it, then you should ask yourself these questions:
Had Obama been a Senator when the CRA bill was passed in the seventies, would he have hailed it as a shining light to the downtrodden?
Would he have excoriated and tagged as greedy and/or racist anyone who opposed it?
Can you apply the lessons to be learned here to the flowery rhetoric this sharlatan is shoveling in 2008?
Lastly, if businesses do not have adequate access to capital, how would the 18-24 year olds expect to find lasting employment? Businesses hire for two reasons: one, someone left, and two, the business is growing. If credit dries up and (the natural consequence is that ) the economy slows, neither of those two things happen.

Seriously, great points, all.
Unfortunately, you’re not dealing with rational people with the Obamites. I know I’ve talked to a few including one for 4 yrs. and after all that I still couldn’t figure out why she would vote for Obama since she clearly holds none of his values.
It’s all a mystery to me at this point and more than a little scary. Though it does give an insight to how people can be fooled into following someone because of charisma and good oratory skills but who instead should be kicked to the curb because of their lack of ideas, knowledge and experience.
