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...

This morning President Bush nominated John Roberts to replace the deceased Chief Justice, instead of taking Associate Justice O’Connor’s seat.
The swift move would promote to the Supreme Court’s top job a man who currently is being considered as one of eight associate justices.
“I am honored and humbled by the confidence the president has shown in me,” Roberts said, standing alongside Bush in the Oval Office. “I am very much aware that if I am confirmed I would succeed a man I deeply respect and admire, a man who has been very kind to me for 25 years.”
A month ago, I had poo-poo’d Ann Coulter’s objections to John Roberts and his tendency to be…well, his tendency to not be an Ann Coulter clone. I despise people who bitch and piss and moan about people in power not being carbon-copies of the people doing the bitching and pissing and moaning, and the fact is I can grow very old waiting for a carbon-copy of Ann Coulter to survive senate scrutiny and screechy demagoguery by Kennedy, Reid, Feinstein and Boxer. Assuming I wanted to see that.
But I must say…this does have me a little concerned. This is how Earl Warren got started. It is a nearly-precise repeat (except Warren was a recess appointment). Nobody, anywhere, is debating with any effect how constitutionalist principles are going to be respected by a Justice Roberts — all I see them doing is trying to reassure the Abortion-On-Demand crowd that a Supreme Court with Roberts’ butt in one of the seats, will oversee just as much baby-killing per annum as it has overseen up until now. In this day & age, an Earl Warren wouldn’t even need a recess appointment. He’d squeak right on through.
Coulter’s concerns are very serious. We don’t need any more dead children. And I’m not talking about children who are still in their momma’s tummies. I’m talking about children children, the ones who could be kidnapped as they walk home from school, by predators released from jail by brand-new exclusionary rules, penumbral rights and other such technicalities. We don’t need district attorneys to become “distract attorneys” as they are bullied and intimidated by a judiciary hostile to justice. We don’t need another age of serial killers.
