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...
Alan is having some dark-humored fun with my old stomping grounds.
Squeaky green Seattle decided years ago to forego the use of road salt. Now the city is paralyzed in a carapace of ice. Stricken with climate-angst, the bureaucrats who decided this policy didn’t really believe it would ever snow in Seattle again. Wrong! Now it’s lame excuse time.
“If we were using salt, you’d see patches of bare road because salt is very effective,” Wiggins said. “We decided not to utilize salt because it’s not a healthy addition to Puget Sound.
Last time I checked the Sound was filled with, you know, brine. That’s a fancy word for salt water. So where’s the problem?
There is a bright spot here. We can stop worrying, just a little bit, about the federal government being turned over to the left-wingers. This is, arguably, the benign effect of liberalism, because as articles like this remind us, left-wing politics foment the worst results when they’re implemented at the municipal level.
There is no “liberal” way to clear snow, or collect garbage, or manage traffic lights at a controlled intersection. But there’s no shortage of bureaucrats ready, willing and able to find such a way nevertheless. In Seattle, San Francisco, Boston, DC, PEBO’s hometown of Chicago, Berkeley, Portland, Los Angeles…et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Drive carefully and keep your wits about you, on your way through Seattle. We certainly will.
