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...
Regular readers of The Blog That Nobody Reads know that I’m not all that fond of atheists, I think of the secular types as weak thinkers overall. But when I pick on them my insults are a little on the long-winded side. I’ve learned to become very careful in the way I generalize, using phrases like “on average” and words like “tend.”
That’s because I personally know of some atheists who have their priorities right. One of them is out here in the innerwebs, somewhere, and he’s called small-tee tim the godless heathen. Actually, he used to be called just “tim” until I took the initiative and gave him the longer name.
I’m really gun-shy about the idea of voting for an atheist, but that’s no longer an absolute. I’d much rather have a President tim than a lot of believers, even among some of the believers who would march in lock-step with me on a number of other issues. I trust small-tee’s judgment. Sure, he’s just another godless heathen, and he likes “futbol,” but hey nobody’s perfect.
You’ll find absolutely none of the group-think “What my brother atheist said must be true because he’s an atheist like me” in small-tee. This is the kind of thinker people have in mind when they say they want a genuinely independent thinker. Plus, he is a gifted writer and has an awesome sense of humor.
But I have no idea what he looks like.
Think you can help me pick ‘im out? Follow the above link back to Rick’s place, to get a larger image.

Standing, 3rd from the left. It’s Murdock from Rambo, then Dave Chapelle, then tim.

You know this to be true, Andy? You seen ‘im?
- mkfreeberg | 06/12/2010 @ 06:53Nope, just going on instinct. Trying to pick out the one who looks the most like he would actually still like soccer.
- Andy | 06/12/2010 @ 07:56Ahhhhhh, damn it, I gave Andy too much credit back at Rick’s place before I came over here. Just assumed, “Third from the Left”, excluded the coach.
And Andy, come on dude, does that dude look like a Marine! (Here’s what that dude looks like now -http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1229266244#!/profile.php?id=650983045) PLus didn’t you say over at Buck’s that you’d be watching the World Cup too?
All in all, thank you very much for the most kind words, Morgan, much appreciated and the link, very cool indeed. Pres. tim…hmmm…I like the sound of that.
- tim | 06/12/2010 @ 14:52So close! I forgot to consider the Marine angle. But frankly, that kid I picked out looks a lot like I used to look, and I became a mighty paratrooper.
