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...
Russ from Winterset at Ace of Spades, via Locomotive Breath…
I know what you’re saying. “Russ, doesn’t the world need another book written by a self promoting skank* with mental health issues?” I say YES! – and since Courtney Love and Joe Biden are currently busy with other engagements, why not offer the alleged victim in the Great Alleged Duke Lacrosse Rape Cluster-frack and Mongolian Media Goat Rodeo a book deal?
Exciting times. Lots of attention paid to people who can’t think straight. The result is lots of resonance for ideas that don’t make any sense, and an immediate muffling effect upon any ideas that do. It’s everywhere. You can’t escape it.
You know, historically we’ve shown a capacity for growing weary of these little societal eons of irony, just as we become bored with our chapters of common sense. In fact, we get tired of the irony much more quickly. Orders of magnitude more quickly. By a factor of three-to-one or four-to-one.
That factor, I think, is going to be going up. We’re going to get sick and tired and ready to move on from our latest “up is down, in is out, wet is dry” midsummer daydream in record time.
In the meantime…Duke Whore, you are welcome to make whatever profit you possibly can. Enjoy it while it lasts sweetie.

But…but…I thought it was ILLEGAL to make profits from proceeds from criminal acts, like A BOOK ABOUT IT!
Oh wait, that’s only if folks are actually CHARGED, TRIED, and SENTENCED for
de facto Felonies.
My mistake. Perhaps respected academic Mr. Gates, or Supreme Court nominee Ms. Sotomayor, will eventually weigh in on this proposal?

Did Amy Fisher get ANY cash from the movies/musical based on her “zany antics”?
