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...
Paul Krugman is digging up an old corpse and making it dance once again.
This was already dealt with, more than a little bit effectively, years and years ago. Not from over here and not by me.
However, we have had a few things to say about it. Here and here and here and here and here and here and here.
So why is Paul making those bones dance in the moonlight? Right now? I think it’s damage control. It is a strange and fascinating thing to observe, when you think about it: People who push what they call “science,” which happens to implore people to live life littler, are never seen to support any kind of “science” that would enable people to live life bigger. Ever. Even though, throughout the centuries, what we have classically called “science” has offered a bounteous cornucopia of gifts — without trying to — that have improved our lives immeasurably.
Once again, I notice, we need to take a much closer and more scrutinizing look at how the word is being used. Real science is apolitical. So what is this word really being used to describe? If you use it to “conclude” something, and then gauge the character of others based entirely on whether or not they believe the same thing — is it right to call that “science”? Really? Because if there’s a proper dictionary definition for “Holy War,” then I think that little ritual would adhere to such a definition right down to the letter.

The worst part is not that the elites on the Left feel the need to lie about us and what we stand for.
The worst part, rather, is that the rank-and-file Left believes the lies.
I’m reading Ann Coulter’s newest book right now:
http://www.amazon.com/Demonic-How-Liberal-Endangering-America/dp/0307353486/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315011917&sr=8-1
…and like the rest of her books, she reserves the most scathing criticism for liberal elites: liberal politicians, editorial writers at big city newspapers, college professors, leaders of left-wing special interest groups, and the like.
Here and there, however, she does take a jab at the liberal rank-and-file – these would be our fellow Americans who vote Democratic/Green/Peace and Freedom whatever…and I think they deserve far more of the blame for the sorry state of our nation than do people like Paul Krugman.
Remember, without all these idiot liberals out in the general public buying his boss’ pathetic newspaper and reading his crummy column, Krugman would be out of a job. So would Chris Matthews, Rachael Maddow, George Clooney, Nancy Pelosi, Eric Holder, Harry Reid, Jon Stewart, and hundreds of other big-name liberals. They’re the ones who go to the propaganda-pushing movies, provide the Nielsen ratings, buy the magazines, comment on the blogs, and of course, keep voting left-wingers into power in Congress and the White House (the latter in turn appoints tax cheats and racists as our overlords).
They’re also the ones who donate millions of dollars to groups like the Sierra Club and Greenpeace, who in turn love to sue our government every time it tries to develop some natural resource that would lower the cost of goods and services and/or put people back to work. Without ordinary liberals, these groups would go broke and have to be disbanded. There would be no more suing, no more lobbying of Congress.
Without millions of Americans who refuse to employ some critical thinking skills and freaking stop believing every lie about the Right that’s spoon-fed to the them by the media…the Leftists up at the top would cease to have any power, money, or influence over American politics.
