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...
So writes Ann Coulter, commenting on Gov. Palin’s well-deserved win of the award named above, from Human Events.
True, Palin made some embarrassing gaffes.
She complained that we didn’t have enough “Arabic translators” in Afghanistan — not realizing the natives don’t speak Arabic in Afghanistan, but rather a variety of regional dialects, the most common of which is Pashtun.
Speaking to military veterans one time, Palin said, “Our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today.”
She bragged about passing a law regulating the nuclear industry that it turned out never became a law at all.
Some days Palin said Venezuela’s dictator Hugo Chavez should suffer “regional isolation” — but then on others she’d say she supported the president’s meeting with Chavez.
She told one audience about recent tornados in Kansas that had killed 10,000 people. In fact, a dozen people were killed in the tornados.
She referred to the “57 states” that make up the U.S.
Speaking of her eldest daughter’s pregnancy, she said Bristol was being “punished” with a baby.
As you probably know — or guessed by now — none of these gaffes were uttered by Palin. They are all Obama gaffes. Luckily, he made them to a star-struck press that managed not to ask him a difficult question for two years.
Zing! Heh.
Some of my most respected commenters, here at The Blog That Nobody Reads, insist we had all the conservatism our li’l hearts could have desired in John McCain, well before the 29th of August. They speak for themselves, and others who are equally misguided, however well-intentioned. The Arizona Senator, sad to say, represents also all the liberalism any li’l heart could desire.
He does all the thinking through the OFC. I know he was just trying to be a decent gentleman with his decision “not to go after” Rev. Wright, but that’s not only a sure way to lose an election, it’s got liberalism written all over it. It’s external locus-of-control. It’s recoiling from the knuckle-rapping before you know what the knuckle-rapping is all about. It’s the abandonment of cause-and-effect, foundation-laying, bridge-building, skyscraper-erecting thinking…solely for the purpose of getting in the good graces of the New York Times editorial board.
We needed something better. We got it. The election turned out the way it did, because it was too little, too late. But America is in love with the woman who goes Moose hunting — and knows how to field dress a moose…and get her sexy round butt out there where the moose are, with a bunch of kids in tow…and get them back home again. Fire guns. Tie knots. Make moose-jerky.
Know-how. It used to be associated with America, remember that?
In four years, let’s get us some more of that. Oh and you blowhard pontificating bastards trying to pull her “toward the center,” you can stick a sock in it.
Congratulations Sarahcuda!
