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...
Had to rely on office chit-chat in order to find out about this. But at least I have enough blogger moxee to figure out there had to be a YouTube of it…
And I thought if my hearing ever went, it would be pistol practice. A bag of chips is gonna do that to me? Apparently so. Somewhere else, there’s a video of which I have only learned second-hand…one of these crackerbags being opened on the deck of an aircraft carrier, with the jets taking off. Crinkle-crinkle…(jets in mid-thrust)…hear that? Yup, I can still hear it.
Ah, a small price to pay I suppose…to SAVE…the PLAN-NET…ooh…aah.
Time to embed George one more time. Best monologue ever.
It’s George Carlin. “Not Safe For Work” should be understood without being stated outright, but I’ll state it anyway.

Morgan,
Thanks for posting that Carlin bit – my God, what a classic rant.
Bike Paths. Volvos. The perfect response to all that Rock And Roll To Save The Planet bullshit.
Good one. Just like the Sun Chips bag, one thing you can be sure of is that whatever those idiots stuff down our throats, it’ll be loud.
- rob | 10/08/2010 @ 16:03The remedy always seems to involve giving up something fun for something not-so-fun. It’s a Joseph McCarthy moment — if it was really all about protecting the environment rather than about annoying people, the laws of probability dictate that these remedies would work in our interests half the time.
It’s a real Thing I Know #354 situation. Just like the one before, and the one before that…and the next one, and the next one after that. This is a constant. No exceptions.
- mkfreeberg | 10/08/2010 @ 16:11Gah. This Sunchips bag clip has the same problem as most of the gun suppressor clips I’ve watched: it’s not an A/B comparison.
Here’s what I want to see on a suppressor clip: First, a gun is fired unsuppressed, miked and amped (or attenuated) so that the recorded audio signal just barely clips.
Then I want to hear suppressed fire under identical conditions.
Instead, I see a gun being fired with a suppressor. “This shows how well the suppressor works.” Not remotely.
Same-same here. Crinkle an ordinary bag, lady. Show us the difference.
- djmoore | 10/09/2010 @ 13:07Of course the Sun Chips bag is loud. She’s freakin manhandling it. The foil wrapper is loud if you intentionally crinkle it the way she’s doing.
Further, I notice at the start of the video that the sack already had a lot of small wrinkles in the foil. As if this wasn’t the first time it had been crinkled up like that. I’ll bet it didn’t look like that when she bought the bag of chips in the store.
- cylarz | 10/09/2010 @ 15:00I like Sun Chips, just not enough to buy them often. I noticed that the packaging was extra loud when they changed it to the new green packaging. I figured it was a good thing, like a warning that someone else was diving into my Sun Chips. And others have noticed the noise of the Sun Chips packaging.

- CaptainMidnight | 10/12/2010 @ 06:55Used to idolize George Carlin until he just went wholesale into profanity in the 1980s. He quit being funny and sarted being political, but here he is spot on. He nails liberals to the wall.
- Groucho Marxist | 10/14/2010 @ 20:27I saw two different Sun Chips bags side by side and did the comparison, cylarz, and the new ‘green’ bag is really loud. I wish they’d had these bags when I was younger. I could have really driven my stepmother nuts, then.
