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...
We didn’t have enough of a lawsuit-happy society just yet, so our “lawmakers” are fixing that.
Self-proclaimed victims of global warming or those who “expect to suffer” from it – from beachfront property owners to asthmatics – for the first time would be able to sue the federal government or private businesses over greenhouse gas emissions under a little-noticed provision slipped into the House climate bill.
Environmentalists say the measure was narrowly crafted to give citizens the unusual standing to sue the U.S. government as a way to force action on curbing emissions. But the U.S. Chamber of Commerce sees a new cottage industry for lawyers.
“You could be spawning lawsuits at almost any place [climate-change modeling] computers place at harm’s risk,” said Bill Kovacs, energy lobbyist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Those poor, poor, pitiful poor, victimized, oh-so-trod-upon working families…with their beachfront vacation homes! Thank goodness someone is standing up for the little guy.
Don’t blame me, I voted for the non-lawyers.
Warning, the article behind the link contains a picture of Henry Waxman’s face, legendary nostrils clearly visible, with the caption underneath “Click the photo to enlarge.” I just couldn’t help thinking, who in the world would want to do that?

Wait, we can now sue based on what we expect to suffer?
Criminey! There is no common sense any more.
- philmon | 04/13/2009 @ 12:27Within an ideology that prizes “human life” when it’s time to execute a murderer, but not when that murderer does his murdering or when a baby is about to be born…there really is very little that is consistent. That’s the one thing that is: The suppression of “human activity that causes global warming.” Just lop off the last four words of that which represent nothing more than an excuse. It’s about suppressing human activity. All human activity is to be suppressed, save for human activity that suppresses other human activity. Collective bargaining, litigating, protesting, aborting.
