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...
They aren’t what you think they are. Here, I’ll go ahead and spoil the surprises.
1. Home schooling.
2. Bikes versus cars versus pedestrians.
3. Chiropractors.
4. Declawing cats.
5. Music piracy/copying/sharing/theft/freedom.
6. Breastfeeding.
7. Coldplay.
8. Twitter.
9. The ending of The Sopranos.
10. Macs and PCs.
Not to beat around the BUSH, but I’m having some doubts about whether this can be reLIED upon as an exhaustive list of things you should avoid talking ABOUT. It seems to me there might be one or two other WEAPONS in the arsenal, things that attract lots and lots OF acrimonious debate that doesn’t seem to be headed anywhere…tons and tons of volume but precious little MASS involved in these things. I can’t quite place what the missing item might be…hmmm…I should try to think of it, because runaway pointless debates like these could easily lead to the Internet’s eventual DESTRUCTION. What could it be?

Well, I was riding my bike to the chiropractor’s office for help with an injury I got while attempting to de-claw my cat, when I was distracted by a woman breastfeeding while Twittering via her iPhone about the ending of the Sopranos. I turned down my pirated mp3 of that Coldplay tune that I’d transferred to my iPod using my PC, and asked her if she was going to homeschool that child or what?

- bpenni | 03/11/2009 @ 16:46Some, ahem, of us are just too far outside the mainstream blogosphere to attract any controversy, regardless. Though I think seriously condemning feminism might do it.
- dstanley777 | 03/11/2009 @ 21:19Ahhhhh…the good old days, when healthy kids could get all the opinion they needed from MAD magazine.
I remember a recurring series called “What They Say-(and what they mean)”.
Spy vs. Spy, now THAT was equal opportunity, as well as fair and balanced.
