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 dealing with Islamic extremist terrorist assholes, that is.
I like it a whole lot better than the Obama doctrine, what with its Man Caused Disasters, overseas contingency operations and what-not. Just a loud report from a Webley Mark V and you’re done.
We have something of a generational dispute going on in Freeberg Manor. I say, the boy is Shia LaBeouf, I’m Harrison Ford, my Dad is Sean Connery and “Kidzmom” is Marion Ravenwood. The boy says he’s Indiana and I’m Sean Connery (!). That, ultimately, is what Indiana Jones is really all about: The hated male patriarchy, and the boys out here in real-life identifying with the notches in the continuum. Perhaps, just perhaps, the franchise would not have become as big as it did if it were not for the feminist movement. Things cannot become precious before they become rare, and the feminist movement was all about making male achievement rare.
What is masculinity, anyway? It’s using the power of an individual’s intellect to keep the simple simple. Caliber against Excalibur. Whip it out, and bang, problem solved.

Movie trivia: Originally, Harrison Ford was supposed to have a big fight scene with this guy. On the day of the shoot, he was sick and feeling rather unwell, so wasn’t up to the shot. Instead he asked “can I just shoot this guy”, to which he got the ok.
It turns out that one little thing made what is probably one of the most remembered scene of all the Indiana Jones films.
