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...
Santorum just had a Gingrich moment. Maybe that’s exactly what we’ve been needing to get this whole thing settled…
He’s right. You don’t have to go to college to contribute productively to the economy…and there are, in fact, some serious doubts lately about whether college enhances your ability to secure employment in a productive trade.
It certainly does enhance the likelihood you’ll be engaged in an unproductive one.
And a degree helps measurably. But that might be a temporary situation, if our President is saying the next thing we’re going to do is make sure we have lots more college grads. Same old mistake — you have more of something, each item of whatever-it-is loses value in the marketplace, since the commodity is no longer scarce, and our liberals are the last ones to figure it out.
Boy, do I ever feel sorry for the first class of “everyone” graduates. Yay, I got a diploma! We all do…now to get a job, by way of somehow distinguishing myself from the rest…of…these…people…who…have…what…I…have………………..

I was thinking today about how we “need” to import workers to do jobs that “Americans won’t do”.
Anybody ever ask the question(s) 1) Why won’t they do them? Is it because they can count on a bevy of nameless somebodies — to whom they have approximately zero accountability — will support them whether they do them or not?
2) And if the answer is, “well nobody can live on those wages”, then where’s the followup question…. “How come these other people apparently can, and go through a lot of trouble to get here to do them, to boot?” Mmmm?
So are they saying Americans are too good to do “those jobs” and, say, your “undocumented immigrant” isn’t?
I mean, isn’t that … I dunno, racist?
Just asking questions here.
