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...
For The Anti-Death-Penalty Types III
People are opposed to the death penalty because they feel it is applied disproportionately across racial lines. Other people are opposed to it because once you impose it, there’s no way to undo it if you find the convicted person was actually innocent. Still others oppose it for financial reasons. I don’t have anything to say to those people within this post, but there are people who are opposed to the death penalty because all living people are God’s children and there is an innate goodness, however deeply it may be buried, within all of us. Those are the people to whom I’d like to direct this story.
Buffalo Police say they have solved the case of the human body parts found inside a suitcase in the Black Rock Canal just over 2 weeks ago. Officials say that a 15-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of his mother and a 50-year-old man may have put him up to it.
Police identified that the body parts belonged to 46-year-old Madeline Irene of 500 Fargo Avenue in Buffalo. Detectives are still trying to piece together all the details but say what they have discovered so far is very disturbing.
Police believe 50-year-old Edwin Gimenez moved to 26 Sherwood from California about a year ago and established a relationship with Madeline Irene�s 15- and 12-year-old sons. Throughout that time, Giminez psychologically influenced Angel, the 15-year-old, to kill his mother. Once Irene was dead, Giminez kidnapped and sodomized the 12-year-old boy, who he claims is his son. Police have no evidence of that claim.
Gimenez is a convicted sex offender, but because his conviction took place before the creation of the New York sex offender registry, he is unlisted. Police believe a concrete-filled drum at his home contains more body parts, apparently the difference between the torso already discovered and the entirety of what once was Ms. Irene.
Just think. If Gimenez received a “Sin City” punishment for his crime twenty years ago, that’s three lives that today might have continued and had a chance of being normal. Today, based on what they say they know, police want to make sure he will “never see the light of day again.” Assuming that the facts convincingly support the theories offered here, why exactly would this guy get three-hots-and-a-cot? The time-honored “There but for the grace of God goes you” argument falls on deaf ears, to those of us who haven’t been raping 12-year-old boys and chopping up women into pieces.
