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...
I don’t watch these things because it seems absurd to me to provide air time to people who are selected based on the fact that, whether it’s in print or electronic form, they enjoy excessive opportunities to blather away already. And I’m not seeing any reason to revisit that particular question here. But I do see some value in checking the lunacy level. Bearing in mind, these are the people who wield influence in the status quo. These are the heavy hitters, the ones whose ideas gain traction and currency…solely because those ideas came from them, not because the ideas show promise.
I think most people don’t understand how bad the problem really is.

Then why do people even need to work, Paul? The ditches getting dug and filled back in accomplishes nothing useful to anyone. Why not just print up scads of money and give it to everyone? I mean, it’s not like we’ll run out or anything. Just hand it out to anyone who will take it. Back truckloads of it into people’s driveways. Stuff it into people’s cracked car windows. Leave it in their mailboxes.
If handing money out unrelated to the economic activity money represents will fix the economy, what are we wating for?
Space Aliens?

There’s a reason a Coke costs 1000 or more of the local currency in some of these places.
