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...
I no longer give a crap if it’s gas instead of diesel or diesel instead of gas. The reports have gone both ways. And, you know, it really doesn’t matter…
Also, it seems clear it’s a matter of miscommunication, likely involving some crucial bit of information that has a classification rating. It’s possible that the guy whose hand was on the fuel pump handle did everything exactly right. I would even consider that a likelihood.
But no matter what…it is yet another embarrassment for the country. And it’s a perfect metaphor for the situation. The guy at the top of the food chain gives wonderful perfect speeches but has never held a real job. So yeah. Some crucial details that involve making things actually work, are not going to get the respect and the attention they command…and things will get screwed up. It is pre-determined.
Remember all those limo problems President Bush had?
Me neither.

Unleaded gasoline fuel tanks have little filler holes–a Diesel nozzle won’t fit.

“Remember all those limo problems President Bush had?”
Right. And ‘Remember all those Secret Service problems President Bush had?”
Me neither.
Have they lowered the standards since Barry took over? Wouldn’t surprise me.

The “perfect metaphor” gets perfect-er. Operating methodology: Give King Barry all the perks and privileges, we’re pretty sure then everything is gonna work out swell. Result: It…doesn’t, and massive embarrassment for all concerned when it fails. Including the country.
- mkfreeberg | 03/22/2013 @ 12:44Ah, there it is. Thanks. Does fit in with the general trend – they just assume they know, and thus are gobsmacked by the simplest things that they don’t know and never bothered to learn. They are The Wonderful People and we should be learning from them.
