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...
This was a non-story.
As was this. For the record, I’m willing to grant President Obama the benefit of the doubt that the scheduling of the “jobs” speech was a coincidence. Not quite so much because I think it was, but because I see the whole thing as entirely inconsequential.
You can imagine, therefore, how pathetic I think this was. And let’s not even start thinking about this or this. Stories like those only highlight the futility involved in listening to more of Dear Leader’s blah, blah and blah, and that’ll just piss us all off some more when something good on teevee gets pre-empted for it. Like, for instance, I dunno…A Very Special The Kardashians?
I do have to wonder, once again, what’s going to happen when Barack Obama is out of office. All you people on the left and on the right who are so sure He’ll cruise to re-election no matter how bad the economy is — you do realize, even granting for argument’s sake your prediction will come true, it’s still a when and not an if, right? Someday, Obama is going to be a former President.
Should high-ranking officials in Congress resign in disgrace, then, too, for politely suggesting He should pick a different day for His latest styrofoam-packing-peanut speech? Has this been thought out at all?
It’s just another reminder, I think, the latest of many that: Many among Obama’s supporters are not cheering Him on to advance the hopes & dreams of persons-of-color, or to actually get anything done, but just to win arguments. They live in a world of “everything takes a back seat to O.” In left wing politics, this has always been true of the svengali at the top of the power pyramid — a mistake ceases to be a mistake when He is the one who makes it. These poor wretches, somehow, have personally externalized the experience of “being right” and thus have trivialized it. They support King Barry The First, essentially, for no better reason than they just want to win arguments.
Theirs is the story behind the non-story. President Soetoro’s people failed to think something through, He received a polite request as a result and He, with equal politeness, acquiesced. Perhaps because He has what it takes for Him to show true politeness, or perhaps that’s not the case and He just figured out that there was no win for Him here so He’d better save what face He could. I really don’t give a good goddamn about that. It’s really a challenge for me to think of anything less worthy of a good mulling-over. It’s a complete tangent. They ran into a snag and they worked it out…whatever.
But these people are completely beside themselves and no — I don’t think they’re ready for Barack Obama to not be President anymore. They won’t be ready for it in 2013 or 2017 or ever.
If Barry does win a second term, there is going to be a call for a repeal of term limits. I don’t think He will. But if He does, then mark my words on this and you read it here first.
They will want Barry ensconced for life. Because they want to win arguments. Period.
