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...
All babies are beautiful, except maybe this one. Thank goodness this is not a living infant. It’s a silicon and fiberglass sculpture by Australian artist Ron Mueck. It went on display at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia, on Jan. 31. This work is called “A Girl.”
More on Mr. Mueck here.
Selected works
* Dead Dad (1996–97), silicone, acrylic paint and human hair – a 2/3rds life-size sculpture of Mueck’s father lying on his back, naked – Saatchi Collection
* Pinocchio (1996), mixed media – standing boy, perhaps 5 years of age, wearing only underpants. Saatchi Collection
* Angel (1997), mixed media – a 1/3 scale boy seated on a tall stool, in a brooding pose looking down, sprouting wings made of real goose feathers – Saatchi Collection
* Ghost (1998), mixed media – 2 metres tall (3/2 scale?) adolescent girl, in swimming costume, leaning against a wall, face averted – Tate Gallery
* Boy (2000), fibreglass, resin, silicone – a 5 metre tall sculpture of a boy, crouching. First shown in the UK Millennium Dome exhibition. It is now owned by the art museum ARoS in the city of Aarhus, Denmark, who use it as a trademark piece.
* Man in Blankets (2000), mixed media – 1/2 scale – elderly naked man almost completely enveloped in blankets, which form a kind of cocoon.
Yeah…just let your mind wander, see if you can fill in those visual details.

That’s perverse, so is the artist (I use that term loosely).
