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...
It’s become an “Everyone Else is Blogging It, I Might As Well Do It Too” thing.
Santelli wants to know if President Obama is listening. Sen. Boxer, I’d like to know if you’re listening.
Paying your mortgage has become a moral hazard.
Update: Blogger friend Rick is following this back-n-forth — two additional installments as of now, more to come, fer sure.
Looks like there is a “bullying issue.” Not sure I agree with that. Propaganda Minister Gibbs is being not quite so much a bully, as a snot. Same ol’ fluff and nonsense from the Obamaton camp: If you disagree with our wonderful remedies, you’re a dolt and we have some reading for you to do. If you agree, on the other hand, we’re not even going to inspect your level of intellect let alone ridicule it. Even though you might think President Obama is gonna put gas in your car.
It’s a case of making complicated things simple and simple things complicated…which is what you have to do to make left-wing ideas look good. In this case, this doesn’t even involve reading anything. Not so much as a page. It’s human behavior: If people are entitled to wealth without working for it — or if they are no longer entitled to the property for which they did work — guess what? People don’t feel like working for wealth anymore.
And other than people working for wealth, what is an economy?
Now the ball’s in your court, Mr. Gibbs. Do tell me what I should print out and read, that will shed new light on the situation, as it exists today in the way I’ve summed it up.

You’re right. I saw the “bullying” issue thing from our oh-so-sensitive press. Sorry, the press is famous for dishing it out but not being able to take it. The White House is free to level whatever criticism it may wish to level.
If it starts making threats, that’s intimidation. But I saw no threats. Just an “oh yeah, well why don’ch’a read it …. dummy! ”
Which wouldn’t be so lame if it wasn’t obviously a bluff. However, this is the kind of thing Obama’s been able to get away with. Taking control of the conversation with some snotty straw-man rhetoric, and pretend it has responded effectively. It’s school-yard politics. And sadly, it was good enough to get him elected. I hope we’re seeing signs now that it isn’t going to work throughout his
