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.

Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...

Sorry, to all you friends reading this who were so adamant about how much I’d love it because it “does such a fair job of presenting both sides.” I imagine it might look that way to you, if you’ve never done such a thing yourself, and never actually seen this done.
This brings me to another one of my one-liners:
Is it possible to make liberal ideas look good, without misrepresenting something?

Hey, nobody’s perfect. She meant well. It’s not my fault. Es no my job, man. It’s above my pay grade. Whaddaya want from me?
The unspoken corollary is “And I will attack anyone who suggests otherwise,” of course. It’s all part of the relentless infantilisation of the culture over the last 40 years, and God forbid anybody become an adult.

I watched most of it until the last episode, when it looked like they were veering into a gay marriage scene, at which point I…read House of Eratosthenes or something. 😉
