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...
From the old, silly one, actually.
We are gathered here today to prove that Catwoman, Joker, and their men are guilty of several major offenses. To wit: robbery, attempted murder, assault…..and battery! Mayhem…(dramatic pause)…and overtime parking.
It seems to possess a social-commentary parallel against real life, does it not? It’s hard to take an indictment seriously when it offers up a major-minor juxtaposition like this. Butchering a hundred girl scouts and failing to return a library book on time. And yet so many impassioned prosecutors, stewing in their adrenaline, lost and drowning in it, so offer.
George W. Bush is guilty of war crimes, violating the Geneva conventions, lying about weapons of mass destruction…and acting like a cowboy.
Americans…spew more than their fair share of carbon, thereby poisoning the entire planet…and are fat.
Men…assault their wives on Super Bowl Sunday (which was nothing but an urban legend in the first place)…and aren’t in touch with their emotions.
Republicans…want to force women to carry pregnancies to term, against their will…and aren’t funny.
What follows next is something I don’t like writing because it’s an exercise in belaboring the obvious. And yet, it seems, the people who most need to understand it, don’t: When the minor indictment is included, the major one is damaged. The major indictment may contain a kernel of truth, but no more than that. He who accuses, cannot be taking the accusation as seriously as he’d like it to be taken by whoever is being presented with the accusation. This would not be consistent with the way people function as they evaluate guilt in other people.
Simply put, if you really do think George Bush is guilty of war crimes you don’t give a rat’s ass whether he smirks & swaggers or not.
That’s why these Batman-prosecutors aren’t taken seriously. Hmmm. Maybe I should keep my mouth shut and let them go on the way they’ve been going.
