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...
The activists are taking up the good fight. It’s interesting that each little thing that “hurts the environment” is something comfortable. In fact, speaking for myself, if I were to make a list of everyday things that tick me off, it would probably have the same contents as the list of things that have inexplicably escaped, and will continue to escape, this environmental scrutiny that is so unavoidable by other things not quite so annoying. Plush toilet paper needs a good protest. People driving around with boom boom boom music in a convertible with the top down — they don’t need protesting. Nor do kids jumping on their skateboards waaaaaay too close to your car.
Captain Capitalism is prompted by the soft-toilet-paper protest to ask: Do the activists look back on their lives with regret when it’s all over? Interesting thought.
Hat tip to Fourth Check Raise.
Update: Blogfather Gerard gives us permission to use his graphic. We chose to embellish. That’s how we roll…
…Also, prowling through our archives we discovered this nugget of brilliance about all the things that never seem to be blamed for global warming. But we’d dearly love to see that happen.
Like I said: It’s never the annoying things. Never the prickly uncomfortable things. Never the things that get under your skin. It always seems to be the things sane people would like to have around. They are bad for the environment. Mean screechy women with annoying voices, or bad jazz that gives you a headache — these never seem to make the cut.

Well, you’ve got the item but I’ve got (natch) the perfect ILLUSTRATION. You can steal it to dress up the page. I won’t mind.
