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...
Wisdom from my Hello Kitty of Blogging account:
It seems our elected and appointed officials have what might be called a “PIQ”, or “Perceived Intelligence Quotient”…the general public perceives them to be smart or stupid, and this is independent of what the evidence says. Certain people come off like dopes even though they might have demonstrated good problem-solving skills, repeatedly, and certain other people look cool and suave and sophisticated, even though, in fact, they can’t even work a simple blender.
In the wake of this morning’s Affordable Healthcare Act ruling, I’m placing more faith than ever before in a theory upon which I’ve been thinking: The higher the number representing a given public servant’s PIQ, the less of a public “servant” he or she really is…and the more a government, under his or her tutelage, will sprawl out of control, and the more freedoms we will lose.
Enough of this. Put the dimwits back in charge. They aren’t really lacking in competence in anything, except for the things that aren’t doing us any good anyway!
I also notice the perceived-nuanced-sophisticated types tend to run up very, very large deficits in spite of the fact that they’re the ones who’ve never met a tax they didn’t like. They seem to be positively bursting at the seams with ideas about what government should do…but when the conversation turns to how much money it should cost per person per year, how much revenue it should be collecting, how much debt it should be running up, they’re completely silent on such things. It’s as if they feel the concepts of numers and math are somehow beneath them.
