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...
You have to grin at the elegant logic that is used here…
Now that the White House and State Department have made clear that they believe movies compel terrorists to terrorize, it’s time for them to get ahead of this problem. And one thing the White House can do immediately is to pressure Sony to stop the release of director Kathryn Bigelow’s “Zero Dark Thirty,” which celebrates the killing of Osama bin Laden.
I’m only saying this because, you know, the White House and the media told me movies inflame and cause terrorism.
Think about it: if the poorly produced and laughably bad trailer for “The Innocence of Muslims” results in chaos, murder, and the burning of foreign outposts all throughout the Middle East, how much rioting and mayhem is a big-budgeted, slickly produced, Oscar-bait blockbuster celebrating the death of the leader of al-Qaeda going to cause?
Yeah folks, you better get right on that.
And then that sister you have whose husband beat her within an inch of her life because the pasta was overcooked…take her in, let her spend a couple nights and while that’s going on, teach her how to cook pasta the right way because hey — the problem has to be there. It can’t have anything to do with a certain someone’s personality or alcoholism or impulse-control issues. Must be that damn pasta. And the beer wasn’t cold enough. But you see, therein lies the rub. If you’re going to prevent these spurts of violence by addressing all this penny-ante nonsense, ignoring the big problem, you’d better make sure that pasta is perfect from now until the end of time. And the remote can always be easily found. And the steak is cooked right. And the yolks aren’t popped in any of the eggs. And there are no spots on the glasses. And the dinner fork is to the right of the salad fork. And the napkins are properly folded. And, and, and…ya know what, it still isn’t gonna work.
Because you aren’t addressing the real problem.

Can’t the somehow leagally banned “Hillary Clinton does WHAT!!!” movie be

Maybe “Atlas Shrugged”, parts Iand II?
Perhaps if the current “administration” lent it’s “assets” to FINALLY producing
the film medium version of “A Confederacy of Dunces”?
I’ve got the perfect director, and ALL STAR cast, in mind. I just need the right…financial accounting teem.
