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...
So the protesters block a busy highway during rush-hour as part of the “police brutality” franchise-protest-fad…local news network follows some of them home to find out who they are, what’s their story, and do they have anything further to say. As in, something coherent.
This Noah character with the white-guy dreadlocks avoids discussing anything biographical about himself, insisting it’s not about him. Which is interesting, since according to the justification being pieced together here and there about the protest, the inconvenience deliberately placed on the rush hour commuters is insignificant compared to what is being endured by those subjected to the police brutality and stuff (As a consequence of doing things like robbing liquor stores and resisting arrest). And yet, young Noah feels uncomfortable with this conversation being caught on film.
Eh, I think in my book that does make it all about you, Mr. McKenna. Inconvenience, discomfort…such little bumps in the pathway of life are for others. You’re too good. That puts you above all the rest, and somewhere in here is a story because there has to be a how, what, and why to this difference between you and everybody else. That means it’s news.
I can certainly promise such questions would be foremost in my mind, if I was ever blocked by a living menagerie of snots from nice neighborhoods with nothing to do, while I was trying to get somewhere.

Well, sure. Look at him, and think about what little we know about him. He is a sad and powerless little worm, and this was a chance for him to be the chessplayer, as opposed to one of the pawns. People look at him, ask him questions, that all falls apart, and he is still just other pawn……
(And we know that’s what’s going on, because if he actually believed in the “cause”, he would have talked to the news guys as long as possible, and kept bringing the conversation around to the “injustice” he was protesting……)
