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...

Know what I’m thinkin’ during the six minutes?
Wow…what if this was a prank call to Barack Obama. Maybe we’d see Erica Jong’s prophecy of rioting in the streets come to pass a few days early. Seriously, just imagine it…”Hello, this is Barack Obama” in his most authoritative, Walter-Cronkite-like baritone pitch. He’d use his superior forensic powers to figure out this is a prank call? Really? No…the six minutes would go exactly the same way. I’d bet serious money on it. Shame that theory will never be put to the test.
And THEN what. “Christ with an iPod in the toilet,” as Rachel Lucas might say. Racism this…sleazy right-wing attack that…new low for the McCain campaign…blah blah blah. Keith Olbermann would have a new Worst Person in the World, fer sure. Right about the time I’m typing this, there’d be a poll coming out about whether John McCain should apologize. The Messiah himself would go on The View and talk about how that’s okay, some people are just bitter and insecure because they know change is comin’…and He accepts that because He’s just a swell guy.
All of which is somewhat ironic, in my view. Because the remarkable thing that has emerged in this race, is that the lawyers who’ve been really running Washington since the fifties, are all stacked up on one side of this race, and they’re all on the ticket promising hope & change. Isn’t that interesting? And the slobbering fans who want this change so badly that they’re not waiting for a definition of what it is, are going to these absurd extremes to try to stop any non-lawyer from getting into the White House.
Just amazing.
That, or it’s just plain raw naked sexism.
Hey…sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander…
