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...
Me, I’ve been successful. The road’s been rocky, but in the girlfriend department I’m in a good place. (My expanding waistline demonstrates this.) Others have not been so fortunate, and that’s just plain not fair.
So altogether now…one…two…three…
Office of the Speaker
H-232, US Capitol
Washington, DC 20515Dear Madame Speaker:
I am writing to you as a natural-born citizen of the United States (copy of birth certificate available on request) who is suffering mightily during this recession. While my finances are mostly in order, my emotional life is a shambles, and therefore, as my share of the national bailout/stimulus package/whatever, I request herewith that the Congress take steps to find me a girlfriend.
I do not undertake this request lightly. The feeling that one is not desired, even in a heterosexual manner, is a serious blow to one’s self-esteem generally. We know the Congress takes an interest in self-esteem: this year Rep. Bob Filner (D-CA) introduced a bill to “encourage initiative and promote self-esteem,” and while he was thinking specifically of persons who are drawing Social Security for disability, it’s clear, given the size of the debt load inflicted on the nation by the Bush administration, that the government cannot afford to let persons with emotional difficulties become disabled as a result of those difficulties and subsequently end up drawing Social Security.

I shudder at the possibilities here. No doubt Madame Speaker would come up with some sort of “matching program,” whereby female losers (e.g., fat, frumpy, whiny, demanding, nagging, multi-divorced, or a combo of any/all of the foregoing) in your immediate area would be allocated to males in need. And the program would be mandatory, of course. No substitutions allowed.
Thanks, but no thanks.
