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...
When They Stop Licking It
I do not agree with this at all, at least, I don’t agree with the main focus of it. It seeks to add mass and momentum to the growing avalanche of opinion that says “I’m so sick and tired of Bush’s people and Clinton’s people pointing fingers at each otherrrrrrrrr!!!!!” as if it’s been going on and on and on for weeks, months, years, no end in sight.
Erm…I don’t get that. I really don’t. The finger-pointing is a product of Clinton’s little hissy fit which took place five days ago. And…”The Path to 9/11″ which began stirring up a lot of huffing and puffing less than a month ago. People people people — for how long did we have to endure the nonsense that was the Plame scandal? And what the hell was that about anyway. Democrats seeking to investigate how a “covert op” got her name leaked to “blackmail” her husband. Really striking a blow for the sanctity of national-security related secrets, those Democrats were. Did anyone, anywhere, believe that?
And yet, what is the finger-pointing about? It’s about looking back on the neglect shown by our leaders — Democrat and Republican alike — as those leaders worked so hard to piously reflect the laziness and ignorance the rest of us had. We’re supposed to “never again” allow 9/11 to happen, and “never forget” that it did. Okay, then. That means every clear-thinking citizen has a 9/11 commission hearing between his left ear and his right. And we look back. Embarrass Bush, embarrass Clinton, emberrass ourselves, emberrass everybody. We all got it comin’. We’re supposed to never again allow it to happen…well, that’s the first step.
So “Hog” and I disagree. I think it’s useful, and I’m not tired of it. Personally, I’ve gone a lot longer than five days, reading about stuff that was far, far less relevant to anything that remotely mattered, to anyone. So I’m not done.
I agree with everything else, though. And this is just plum good writing. Acidic, without working too hard trying to be; likably rustic, without working too hard trying to be; frank and un-subtle, without working too hard trying to be.
Perfect. Really a thing of beauty. Funniest thing I’ve read in quite some time, and not unintentionally so.
…you can’t stand on your chair and fling poo every time a journalist asks you a reasonable and important question. Clinton thinks Wallace attacked him. My response? When the press licks your behind clean every day for 14 years, and one day they stop, it probably DOES feel like an attack. But it’s not.
Clinton feels like he got manhandled. He didn’t, but even if he had been, conservatives are lied about and berated on the air every day. If they can take it, so should he. The big sissy.
It still amazes me that people think Clinton is a super genius. He got into Yale Law School because he drove a senator’s car, and because he came from Arkansas, an area where Ivy League Schools have to search pretty hard to find qualified applicants. He attended Yale on a pass/fail basis because at that time, liberal nuts had done away with grading. He doesn’t have a grade point average. All we know is that he passed. And graduating from law school is no sign of great intelligence.
:
Now he has gone on the air and thrown a tantrum, and he made ridiculous statements easily proven false, and after that he was stupid enough to ream out his own staff in the presence of a TV journalist, threatening to fire them, as though it was THEIR fault he had no self-control. Brilliant? Where is the evidence?
That’s just a tiny sampling. Go read the whole thing.
