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...
Is it unfair of me to read something in to this?
A television photographer who was fired for urinating in a cemetery while covering the funeral of an Iowa soldier was denied unemployment benefits. Gerry Edwards, of Center Point, was dismissed in December by KGAN-TV in Cedar Rapids.
In November, Edwards urinated near a monument at a cemetery while he was there covering the funeral procession for 23-year-old Sgt. James Musack, of Riverside, who was killed in Iraq, court records said.
Another journalist photographed the incident, and it was e-mailed to Edwards’ managers. Records said officials escorted Edwards out of the building within hours and gave him a choice of resigning or being fired.
I think the most accurate answer I can give to that question is: Kinda. A little. But not completely.
I see the tombstone piddling as metaphorical. I see it as a microcausm of everything our Fourth Estate, and our angry anti-war leftists, have been doing for the last four years. They whip out their cameras, point at the three-thousand-plus casualties and damn George Bush to hell for sending our brave soldiers in to harm’s way. And then after the cameras have shut down, they piss on tombstones. The whole lot of ’em. Gerry Edwards, and his antagonistic colleague who took this action to end Edwards’ career, acted out this little conflict in the middle of a solemn ceremony. They were dispatched to that ceremony to arouse the passions of the rest of us. Passions borne of decency. Decency which neither one of them reflect.
Isolated incident? Perhaps. But why am I to think so? Really?
Gerry Edwards disgusts us not because of the vile fluid that came out of his body, but because of his willingness to dispense it in such a hallowed place. I think there’s nothing unique about him. I think he’s just the guy who couldn’t hold it any longer…and got caught.
