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 gets into what Sharon the Liberal Heretic was talking about; there is this mindset out there, it seems, that a “right” comes into being as soon as the right people think it would be a cool idea. They’re either appointed to some position of power, or else they get together and form a majority…and “endow” their little hearts out.
Most of the rights that are coming into being this way, lately, cost someone else something. When a transvestite has a “new civil right” to use the women’s rest room, for example, this obviously puts other people into situations that they just have to learn to tolerate.
I wonder how these spontaneous-endowers would feel if this was turned around. What if their auto finance company approached them someday and said “We just decided we have a right to receive your payment on the 5th of the month, instead of having to wait for the 22nd of the month.” I’m thinking they wouldn’t like that too well.
But they get to do it to others. They get to make it into a regular habit. And then, something of a nervous tic.
How do they justify this? It’s that other clause, the “created equal” clause…turns out, they aren’t very big fans of this. They can’t be.
