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.

Some of those are more arguable than others.
The Cavalier, I think, might be the worst, because it was a couple of ticks behind the leaders when it was introduced in 1982, and it was still around through 2003. (Ford’s Taurus was similarly unimproved over a comparable period, but it started out ahead of the pack.)
And the Jeep Compass can be explained only by insanity: they brought out two low-end Jeeps, stripped away the off-road credentials of one – the Compass – and sold them both for about the same price. The Patriot, the Compass’ Trail-Rated cousin, was clearly the better buy.
But the presence of the Ford Explorer, a thoroughly competent, if seldom class-leading, sport-utility on this list is merely a reflection of the author’s SUV phobia. (Toyota, who gets a pass because of the sainted Prius, has a more extensive line of SUVs than Ford ever did, at prices ranging up to $70,000, but you’ll never see this noted in the [M]ass Media.)
