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...
With Obama administration officials and feminists running around, half-cocked, saying exactly the opposite of what they mean, the time has come to review my list of opposite words.
• Everyone;
• Science;
• Diversity;
• Tolerance;
• Skeptic(ism).
This is going to have to be lengthened, today as well as in the four years ahead.
It’s missing “frank,” “dialogue,” “freedom” and “choice.”
People who want frankness don’t want frankness, people who want freedom aren’t willing to shoulder the associated burdens, people who want dialogues want anything but a dialogue, and people who want “choice” are enchanted with the prospect of controlling what others do.
One more thing, and I’m not sure if it qualifies as a true “opposite”: I’ve long been noticing that people who say if we “all come together we can get this done,” seem to be dedicated to that coming-together and not too much else; they can dole out vast volumes of words across great expanses of time, without ever applying true specificity to what the “this” is.

Related, something I said last November:
‘Groups and organizations with the word “Freedom” in their titles are not likely to be interested in yours.’
Words like the ones you listed above have nothing to do with anyone’s wishes when used by agenda monkeys. They’re nothing but accusations couched in misdirection because the person saying them knows he hasn’t a leg to stand on.
