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.

Mike Nifong says his treatment was unfair.
When former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong mailed in his law license last week, he also included a note bemoaning “the fundamental unfairness” of the North Carolina State Bar’s handling of his ethics case.
Nifong was disbarred for his handling of rape charges against three Duke University men’s lacrosse players. State prosecutors later dismissed the charges and declared the players innocent.
In the Aug. 7 letter, Nifong complained about a revision the State Bar issued to its written ruling, which had omitted one of the counts included in an oral ruling.
Robert Mosteller, a Duke law professor, noticed the missing count.
“Am I just missing this reference, is there an explanation, or just an apparent oversight?” he wrote in an e-mail to the State Bar.
The count was added in an amended order by F. Lane Williamson, a Charlotte lawyer who headed the disciplinary panel.
“Mr. Williamson’s e-mail assertion that the addition of a new conclusion of law based on the request of a Duke University law professor is merely a ‘clerical correction’ is preposterous beyond belief, and is further evidence of the fundamental unfairness with which this entire procedure has been conducted,” Nifong wrote.
Aw…
I am not a big fan of this guy. The beef with him that culminated in his disbarment, had everything to do with “fundamental unfairness” so it speaks poorly of his mental acumen that he’d see fit to toss that phrase into his sniveling protest. Did he intend the irony, or is he completely unaware of it?
If I personally had a hand in punishing Nifong, and was nursing some doubts about whether I’d done the right thing for whatever reason, this latest event would purge those doubts straight-away. Nifong doesn’t seem to think he did anything wrong. If that’s not the case, he is narcissistic beyond belief.
