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...
Anthony Watts is on the case.

My $0.02, directed at the “Tom” poster who seems to think the people had it coming because they were in bear country:
———————–
“My only regret is that the bear wasn’t shot and killed before it had a chance to maul a human being.
I reject this sanctimonious crap about how people who go into the wild “had it coming” when one of them is killed by a wild animal. All this crud about how we’re in “their” living room and some such. What never seems to get explained is where “our” territory supposedly ends and “theirs” supposedly begins. Don’t say the edge of developed areas; there have been cougar attacks in suburban neighborhoods in my state.
As far as I’m concerned, human beings rule this world, and as the only sentient species on this world (and therefore the dominant one) we reserve the right to go where we wish. We also reserve the right to shoot and kill any animal threatening one of us. That the area where this attack took place actually mandates the presence of a rifle tells me that common sense prevails among those who are frequently in these areas; I’ll defer to their judgement rather than that of someone sitting behind his keyboard who is all worried about animals being left unmolested in their natural habitat.
I don’t care if you fancy yourself a gun control advocate or an environmentalist, or if you steadfastly deny being either of those things. You’re still wrong, Tom.
And the Mauser K98k is a damn good rifle. It was the primary weapon issued to the German army during World War II. I’m disappointed to hear that it let them down when they needed it; more likely the culprit was the ammunition. It was probably old surplus stuff like I use at the rifle range…which between the age and the cold weather, were duds.”
