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...
Geoff Wicken, the author of the report, said that people who claim to be environment friendly have some of the biggest carbon footprints because they are still hooked on flying abroad or driving their cars.
In contrast, their adherence to the green cause is mostly limited to small gestures, reports the Telegraph.
Such people are called eco-adopters, and they are most likely to be members of an environmental organisation.
They buy green products such as detergents, recycle and are devoted to green issues.
However, the survey of 25,000 people, conducted by the market research company Target Group Index, showed that eco-adopters are seven per cent more likely than the general population to take flights, and four per cent more likely to own a car.

You realize the possibility this opens up?
It is now worthy of consideration that now — contrasted with, say, ten years ago — we’re chewing through more energy and associated resources on an everyday basis, even while basking in the glow of this wonderfully enlightened knowledge that we shouldn’t be.
No, I don’t think we’re cruising toward some ecological Armageddon. Although we’re well on our way to sort of an intellectual one. We’re going stark-raving crazy. A bunch of preachy Laurie Davids waggling their fingers at everybody else, hopping into Gulfstream jets and spewing away without a second thought. It’s not just a lifestyle for the uber-rich. It’s the way you’re supposed to do it now.
Drive a modest-size four-banger — or simply walk somewhere on foot — people look at you funny. Trust me on this. You’re supposed to drive something big. While bitching about the environment.
Just nucking futs.
