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...
You know I’m pure evil, because I couldn’t help thinking about Tipper Gore when I ran across this. Wonder how many credits she bought.
A Web site is offering people the chance to offset their infidelity by paying random strangers to remain faithful in a satirical bid to highlight its view of carbon offsetting as an “inadequate” and “misguided” response to climate change.
Cheatneutral began as a joke amongst three friends–Beth Stratford, Alex Randall and Christian Hunt – and works in two ways to tame fast females and philanderers.
Users can freely sign up to become a Cheatneutral “project”, meaning they agree to remain single or monogamous in order to neutralize the cheating of somebody else. Or they can offset their own cheating by sponsoring a “project” with a one-time $2.21 payment.
The site suggests that jealousy and heartbreak are a natural part of modern life, and that no matter how hard we try to reduce the amount we cheat on our partners, it is just not possible to remain faithful.
“That’s why we help you neutralize your cheating,” the site says. “Your actions are offset by a global network of fidelity developed by us. By paying Cheatneutral, you’re funding monogamy-boosting offset projects – we simply invest the money you give us in monogamous, faithful or just plain single people, to encourage them to stay that way.”
Beth Stratford said Randall and Hunt came up with the idea one night in a bar.
“All winter we’d been talking about how carbon offsetting is such an inadequate and misguided response to climate change. We realized that launching an infidelity offset service – and then filming the public and media response – would be an entertaining and seductive way to draw people into the debate.”

Hey! I’m a potential beneficiary of CheatNeutral, what with being abso-frickin’-lute-ly faithful to my harem…consisting solely of Rosie and her five sisters.
Hmm. That (sorta) makes me a polygamist, doesn’t it? Maybe I’m Mormon and just don’t know it.
Aiii-EEE! Or Islamic!
