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...
One of my most original thoughts is something I desperately wish was not such an original thought: Some of the luminaries among us who are to be worshiped just because everyone else worth worshiping seems to be worshiping them, I think are nuts. What they’ve got, in my opinion, is far more worthy of being diagnosed as a mental disorder, maybe even a mental illness, than a lot of other things that really are diagnosed as said disorders.
So it brought me great pleasure to see, if I ever could put a patent on this idea, that opportunity has closed now. The idea’s been stolen, and the occasion merits. Paul Krugman, with his unwise deeds and his unwise words, brought it on himself.
And so we have a round-table discussion on what’s wrong upstairs with Paulie. It’s about goddamn time.
One of my favorite coffee o’clock sites for figuring out what happened the day before, is Memeorandum. It is a non-partisan news feed that groups the stories into a nice hierarchy, by topic…with one big drawback…if this whack-job Paul Krugman writes something, somehow that automatically ratchets upward to the tippy-top of the page in the biggest font they’ve got. You can’t always figure out what’s going on with the Memeorandum stories without actually clicking through & reading the original piece, and many’s the time I’ve flailed around trying to figure out what the heck happened here, only to emerge with nothing more than: Paul Krugman had a brain fart. It’s annoying.
Wonder if that will keep happening after this. Someone at Meme has liked Krugmeister a whole lot up to this point, that’s for sure. I have no idea why.
We sure are doing a great job in this day and age at dismissing people as whack-jobs who ought not be dismissed as whack-jobs, and failing to dismiss as whack-jobs people whose surreal babblings never should have been seriously considered in the first place…
Bearded bitter buffoon? That’s an insult to buffoons. How about overrated, acrid, toxic, grandstanding ass-munch?
