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...
Phil’s been playing around with graphics.
It’s not all his fault. As you’ll see at his place, we have been a corrupting influence on him.
Ah well. We’d apologize, but our Commander-in-Chief seems to be much more skilled at that kind of thing.
Update: Now that we’ve delved into our daily stack…we find this piece overlaps so well with Phil’s funny graphic, that neither one of the two justifies a post of its own. They fit in very nicely together, though.
Why Does Obama Keep Bowing?
President Obama’s silent bow is yet another way of apologizing for America’s misperceived arrogance and superiority. He has found yet another way to pander and apologize without ever uttering a single word.There he goes again. The president, when he met the emperor and empress of Japan in Tokyo on Saturday gave the typical deep bow expected from subjects not peers.
You would think the president would have learned his lesson when he caught such wrath for “bowing” to the King of Saudi Arabia earlier this year. American presidents do not bow to anyone. They do not bow to heads of state, monarchs, potentates, popes or any other mere mortal.
When President Obama bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia earlier this year the White House rushed to spin it away. They claimed that it was not a “bow” at all. The White House stated that the president was “stooping” to look the feeble king in the eye while shaking hands. Well, you can fool some of the people some of the time. The pictures and the video said it all. — Obama bowed to the Saudi king.
The White House’s take on the president’s latest “bow-movement” is that, while it was a bow, it was done pursuant to protocol. That is an outright lie. There is no such “protocol” for a president of the United States to bow to anyone for any reason.

Every time I see Obama bowing…or apologizing…the following dialogue keeps running through my mind.
Oh honey!!!!
What?
You only brought home two cans of bread crumbs!
So?
I wrote down four!!
Really? It looked like two.
No! We need four!!
Hi folks! Can I just say something? This is all the fault of America. America messed up your shopping list. Yup. And we’re very sorry about it.
(Husband and wife, exasperated, in unison) Please get out of our kitchen, Barack Obama.
Right…by the way, you’re not making those mashed potatoes right. You need to mix the milk and butter in like this…
OUT! Now, Barack!
Right. I’m gone. Go back to your guns and your Bibles…

- rob | 11/18/2009 @ 18:53The bowing thing, for me, is merely a metaphor for everything else Chairman Zero is doing to embarrass this nation in front of the rest of the world, and of the way he is squandering and giving away everything previous generations have worked so hard to build.
Our men fought and bled and died at Bunker Hill, Shiloh, the Somme, Normandy, Guadalcanal, Inchon, Khe Sanh, Grenada, Kuwait City, Tora Bora and Falljuah….in order that the United States would never be slaves of anyone. Yet Obama goes about submitting himself (on our behalf), to any foreign head-of-state who will give him the time of day.
Sickening. The worst of it is that the people he’s really supposed to be serving (us) don’t get a bow, they get an extended middle finger.
