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...
Greg Gutfield has an idea about the mosque to be built by Ground Zero in New York:
Well, you know, I was thinking — I went on to their Web site, the Cordoba House website. It’s a lovely website, and they talk about preaching tolerance and communication.
And I thought how interesting is it that they are preaching tolerance and communication to Americans? I thought, wouldn’t it be great to test their tolerance?
So I figured let’s open an Islam-friendly gay bar next door to the mosque. That is my proposal and I’m sticking by it.
I’m not a good businessman and I’m a terrible activist, but this might be the greatest idea I’ve ever had.
I’m inclined to agree with that.

Plus, institute a new policy for the NYPD to release the hookers arrested that day right in front of the mosque, encourage them to mingle, use the selective enforcement rule in that area for drug usage and the like. Really throw out the ole welcome matt.
Two can play this game.
- tim | 08/12/2010 @ 05:37I’m pretty sure I know how the Cordova Center officials would react. They’d just say no, it offends their religious protocols, with out any acknowledgment of the contradiction. Perhaps without any understanding of it.
I’d be more interested in the reaction of the perpetually-guilty, white, “aggressively non-threatening” males who show this eerie unity in insisting 1) there is no god anyway, and 2) anyone who shows anything but immediate acceptance to Cordova Center is a flaming bigot.
a. Wow that’s a great point being advanced here by Guttfield, I never thought of that;
b. Let’s just tear down all the religious houses since godlessness is the only way to go (several on FrumForum have actually said this);
c. It’s different, because I’m just wired to side with whoever has the darker skin;
d. Alright alright I admit it, I’m just siding with the whacked-out Islamic terrorists because I’m afraid they’re going to cut off my head, and the second they say I have to become religious I plan to do it, I’ve already bought my Koran.
I’d love to see this painting-into-the-corner actually take place. It would be educational for us all. Here’s hoping the idea makes it at least to the townhall-forum-public-comment stage.

Oh they know, Morgan. don’t underestimate Muslims and their ‘Silent Jihad’. They know exactly what their doing, what their saying and the contradiction of it all. They simply prey on our biggest weakness – tolerance and our willingness to extend it all the while being hit over the head, literally and figuratively, with their lack of it.
See Europe for examples.
- tim | 08/12/2010 @ 09:07It doesn’t matter what Muslims think or do; that is unchanged. It matters what our society permits them. That has changed a great deal.
- jamzw | 08/12/2010 @ 09:24Once your tolerance extends to intolerance itself, it isn’t tolerance anymore.
- mkfreeberg | 08/12/2010 @ 10:00But…but…strict adherents, as well as neo-adoptees-of-convenience, to the Koran find it entirely permissable to outright lie when addressing um…folks not just like us.
Or,… are they lying when they say THAT?
There’s an island when one tribe NEVER tells the truth, and the OTHER tribe ALWAYS tells the truth. You are at a crossroads.
1. What question do you ask to get correct directions?
2. Why are you even at such a crossroads in the first place?
There is DO, and there is DO NOT, there is
