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...
Holy crap, now if she’s serious that’s what I call “balls”.
Prediction: Barack Obama Will Choose Not To Run Again; Primary Race Will Be Hillary Clinton & Evan Bayh
I do have to ‘fess up, though, that — although I’m not seeing this as the most likely sequence of events — if things really do go this way I’m not going to be completely surprised. I can envision Robert Gibbs saying at a press conference, “the President views His achievements as so complete and so definitive that second term simply isn’t needed.” Things are just going swimmingly, and if you can’t understand that then you’re just stupid.
Then we’d have a big ol’ shouting match, from sea to shining sea, about whether or not there is in fact anything wrong with being a one-term President. The democrats would all line up to tell us in that bullying way they have, that Van Buren, Tyler, Fillmore, et al were some of our country’s very finest. We just haven’t been sufficiently sophisticated to understand it before now.
And of course that horse’s ass Carter. He had the courage to get his ass kicked! So let’s get started. Show what a GoodPersonTM you are. Follow this superior example that’s been given us by Barack and Jimmah.
Yeah. I can definitely see it.
Update: According to my archives…we already have some indications that this type of hairpin-turn thinking is nothing new for them. Nothing new at all:

Yeah, I always thought that was kind of funny, too. They hound and harass her and her family, call her every name in the book, and throw everything they’ve got at her, to try and drive her from office.
Then when she actually steps down, she’s “Quitter Lady.” Hey, whatsa matter…we were just playin, it comes with the territory, hey where are you going?
Okeeeeeeey…….
- cylarz | 02/21/2010 @ 00:16Well OF COURSE they hate her for quitting. She makes such a handy, safe container for their unmitigated ire and disgust.
It interests me how often so-called pacifists are so quick to spew such vitriol against those who politely but firmly disagree with them. It’s almost as though all this insistence on universal peace and love leaves them with no place to vent their negative human emotions in anything resembling a natural fashion–as though the pressure of seeking peace at any price creates an overwhelming psychological need for a bogeyman to despise and revile, just to flush out the backed-up anger.
- TPK | 02/21/2010 @ 02:20Interesting predictions… and not far fetched at all. Should be interesting to see if this will come to fruition or will his ego have him looking at a second term?
- KC | 02/21/2010 @ 13:00[…] House of Eratosthenes on media bias, 2012, and whether or not Obama will even try for a second term. […]
- A Science-y Smorgasbord at Haemet | 02/21/2010 @ 18:15If this happens, Bambi could play the “wounded messiah” card. “I tried to lead you all to the promised land, but… (blah, blah, blah)”. He could then spend the rest of his life with Sharpton and Jackson playing the race card and raking in the bucks. Interesting how our ‘post-racial’ president is working out, don’t you think?
All I can say is: Don’t go away mad, Barry, just go away!
And the real irony is that there will be a LOT of democrats heaving sighs of relief along with the rest of us.
