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...
In the same spirit as the post previous: Those who have so much better judgment than I do about politics and how humans should live together in a civilized society, are so smart, they need help getting the word out about their smartness.
Behold the cool-headed clear thinking and luminous wisdom of “McCain” commenting at Rick’s place.
McCain’s problem is not that he doesn’t understand, it is that he picked the wrong party this time around.
Bush and the Neocons have bankrupt our economy, constitution, world stature and too many parts of the American way of life.
(quick… what is the fear, I mean, security threat color level today?) Bin Laden GOT what he wanted when the US pulled out of Saudi Arabia. (one week before “Mission Accomplished”)
James A Baker ( “I fixed the Election for Bush”) was first in line to DEFEND the Saudis against lawsuitsfor the 9/11 attacks. The Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL) was NEVER about Saddam as a threat, or WMD but controlling (slowing!) the flow of oil to keep the Texas Mafia in the money. ( windfall profits $300+ Billion for the US Oil Companies in the first three years after OIL.) Saddam was pissing them off by turning off and on the oil spigot and they couldn’t keep the price where they wanted.
( Wake up there is lots of oil but they have to keep YOU believing that there is a shortage so you swallow the $3.99 /gal)
The connections between the Bush/Cheney/Baker crew and the real home of America haters, the Saudis, are criminal. McCain was not their poster boy, to be sure, but he fell in line during the campaign. ( He said on Meet the Press,” I agree with GW”, big mistake for an eventual “change” campaign)
You have to enjoy the irony of the Welfare Daddies now on Wall Street. You know the fox has been watching the hen house when it has melted down to the point that the many conservative voices are calling for Nationalization of our banks. But fortunately the genius W. has enlightened us that “it turns out that these economic factors are interrelated” and ” its a house of cards” . Thanks Capt. Obvious. (I would love to see the polling of how many Americans think the Federal Reserve is a branch of the govt. vs. a private corp.)
The people who are still spewing the hate against Obama, I need to ask how this “dangerous sleeper cell” got into the US Senate! Where were you to “save” us before he got access to all of capitol hill…? If you knew all this important information, I think it was very unpatriotic of you to keep it secret until now.
What ? oh… you just made it up as he got closer to the White House. And why is McCain holding out on how to get Bin Laden, (“I know how to get him”). Is that “Country First”
I’ve read both OBama’s and McCain’s books and it is obvious to me that ONE worked his way up, like many of YOUR forefathers (“that one”) and ONE rode both Admiral’s coattails along for the party. (How many Nominees have strippers mentioned as part of their past at the national convention?) How many pilots in the military crash three jets and still get reinstated? Only when the base you are on is named after your granddaddy.
I do not think Obama is the messiah or anything close, I also am not stupid enough to think the decline of the US in the world can or will be reversed. But it is obvious that John McCain, when he gets under pressure starts to act mean and erratic.
He has moved too far in line with the Bush/Cheney admin. and he has no where to go to find votes except to send his Barracuda into the hills with her winking fear message. But even these people have seen the price of shotgun shells double since they “elected” W. last time. I’ve even heard that some of them think the (R) stands for Recession, probably just a MSM rumor.
Palin’s foreign policy “experience”, watching Putin fly over the Matanuska Valley, is the joke of the free world. Although she only just got a passport, she does have the distinct advantage of speaking in tongues, which should come in handy with any “End Times” world leaders she may encounter.
It is also interesting to see John McCain’s wife hit Obama with “walk in my shoes” rhetoric, but I would bet Obama would not know what to do with a $3500 pair of Manolo Blahnik’s and I’m sure the chill that went through her was a Percocet post- addiction flashback.
It’s over… unless Diebold can fire up their executable files one more time and if they do, it will be appropriate as the the US Executive Branch will turns into the equivilant of a Reality Show.
I can see it now ” Tune in this week, As Cindy gives us decorating tips with Dale Chihuly blowing Anheuser Busch bottles into $20,000 door prizes for your next fundraiser, and Sarah, gives us a tour of the new rabbit hutches at Number One Observatory Circle and we”ll accompany John to his anger management class where he tries to pick up the counselor.”
John McCain…do something really maverickesque and suspend your campaign permanently.
McCain’s problem is not that he doesn’t understand, it is that he picked the wrong party this time around. After straddling the fence for years , Mr “Not Congeniality” finally had to take one side of the dodge ball court. He would have had a better chance of forming the “hermaphrodite” party and picking Joe Lieberman.
Bush and the Neocons have bankrupt our economy, constitution, world stature and too many parts of the American way of life. (quick… what is the fear, I mean, security threat color level today?) Bin Laden GOT what he wanted when the US pulled out of Saudi Arabia. (one week before “Mission Accomplished”)
James A Baker (appointed to re-structure Iraq debt by the president of Iraq….George Bush) was first in line to DEFEND the Saudis against lawsuits for the 9/11 attacks. The Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL) was NEVER about Saddam as a threat, or WMD but controlling (slowing!) the flow of oil to keep the Texas Mafia in the money.

You have to enjoy the irony of the Welfare Daddies now on Wall Street. You KNOW the fox has been watching the hen house when it has melted down to the point that many conservative voices are calling for Nationalization of our banks. When you have to write into law (Google: Phil Gramm CFMA 2000 ) that Credit Default Swaps are “not subject to any local or state gambling laws,” that should be a red flag. ( “stop whining,” they were trying to put your Social Security on the Roulette Table.)
But fortunately, the genius W. has enlightened us that “it turns out that these economic factors are interrelated” and ” its a house of cards” . Thanks Capt. Obvious. (I would love to see a survey of how many Americans think the Federal Reserve is a branch of the govt. vs. a private corp.)

But I have to admit, although she only just got a passport, she does have the distinct advantage of speaking in tongues, which should come in handy with any “End Times” world leaders she may encounter. Take that Rosetta Stone.
It is also interesting to see Cindy McCain hit Obama with “walk in my shoes” rhetoric, but I would bet Obama would not know what to do with a $3500 pair of Manolo Blahnik’s and I’m sure the chill that went through her was a Percocet post- addiction flashback.
It’s over…Obama will win… unless Diebold can fire up their executable files one more time and guarantee Mccain a win. If they do, The USA will dive like a Hanoi civilian bombing raid. I’m not saying I wouldn’t be curious to see that train wreck…I ADMIT that is why I watch NASCAR. With all the cameras and surveillance Cheney has installed in the White House before his departure, I’m sure a full scale Reality Show would be a cinch. Imagine a Reality show about the McCain /Palin Executive Branch…too bad “Big Brother” has already been taken for a title.
I can see it now ” Tune in this week, As Cindy gives us decorating tips with Dale Chihuly blowing Anheuser Busch bottles into $20,000 door prizes for your next fundraiser, and Sarah, gives us a tour of the new Queen Anne style rabbit hutches at Number One Observatory Circle AND we”ll accompany Pres John to his anger management class where he tries to pick up the counselor, but gets shot down again.
OK, that was just for me…
When I was young, my dad told me one thing about politics… It is a pendulum that will swing back after it has been pushed too far one direction. That sound you hear is the pendulum at warp speed.
If you really want to make history John McCain…do something really maverickesque and suspend your campaign permanently.
Much to learn…I still have…

Wow, you actually read all that?
He lost me at “James A Baker ( “I fixed the Election for Bush”) … ”
And then went on for a few days on other conspiracy tirades.
Maybe next time I’m having trouble sleeping….
Incidentally, gas is down to $2.89 a gallon where I live.
- philmon | 10/13/2008 @ 10:29Wow, you actually read all that?
You know how you’re watching a movie you’ve seen before, only on the idjit box, and it’s got some cool twist ending that changes everything…and the network that’s showing it does that squeeze-down-to-half-screen thing so they can promote the ten o’clock news report? Or who’s going to be appearing as a guest next week on The View? Or…
…anyway, they just make it abundantly clear that whoever was responsible for placing your favorite movie in that time slot, didn’t give a rat’s ass about the actual material, they were just looking for 120 minutes (including commercials) of stuff. Well, yeah. That’s how I embedded it. Control+C, Control+V. I noticed a couple hours after I published it that the moonbat was repeating himself three-quarters of the way through. Maybe he didn’t care too much about the material either.
Maybe none of ’em do. They don’t seem to understand too much about how they look when they say this stuff.

That’s funny…. I’d actually considered before I commented that that may have been what you had done. I’m actually glad you didn’t read it all. You might have lost a few IQ points.
You have to apply some sort of virtual protectant to your brain before wading though a cesspool like that for too long or you will actually lose brain function.
Actually I think the poster was quite proud of his verbosity. It appears to be a littany of lefty talking points he’s managed to cram into that little walnut he probably calls a brain. Spewing them all out in an incoherent tirade makes him feel smart.
