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...
Via Rachel, we learn about Great Britain’s version of Joe Horn.
Yes, yankee liberals, by all means…we need to elect some leaders that will make us more like Europe. Tell me another. I’m more inclined to fly to Boston and throw a few more crates of tea in their harbor.
For more than two years, Sydney Davis’s house has been under siege from youths throwing stones. After two hours of bombardment in the latest attack and no sign of the police, the 65-year-old retired builder decided enough was enough.
As a particularly large missile landed in his kitchen, he grabbed a plank of wood from the garden and ran towards the gang to scare them away. The police arrived just in time – to arrest Mr Davis for possession of an offensive weapon. He now faces up to six months in prison.
Hey Great Britain — this American is ready to turn the tables on you. You need to realise how you look to the world community, understand that you are not civilised, and make some plans to apologise.
I’m awfully fond of a lot of the people I’ve met who have grown up in your fine country, and of some who still live there. But as far as walking that balance between civil liberties and prosecuting evil, you wouldn’t know how to do it if real civilization itself ran up and kicked you square in the ass.
Mr Davis’s 42-year- old wife Pauline dialled 999 when their home came under attack yet again last week, but two and a half hours later officers had failed to arrive.
The couple’s two sons, five and seven, were cowering behind the sofa when their father ran at the gang.
He recalled: ‘My wife called the police at 6 o’clock. But [the youths] just kept on throwing stones.
‘I have two kids and if one of those stones hit them it could have caused some really nasty damage.
‘I left the back door open to stop them smashing it.’
When officers arrived outside his home in Swindon, Wiltshire, Mr Davis was handcuffed and led away to the cells, where he was later charged.
The youths ran off. ‘What in the world is this country coming to that the police arrest people like me for protecting their own property?’ he said yesterday.
‘The police say they want to reduce crime, yet they let evil little toe-rags like this off. Then they prosecute hard-working, upstanding residents like me.
The law is, quite simply, a colossal ass.’
This American is all done being embarrassed for how you look at his country…for any reason.
Tea. Crate. Boston Harbor. Ker-SPLOOSH.
