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.

Britney Spears To Spend A Month Without Her Kids
Britney Spears’ apparent no-show in court in Los Angeles on Monday has cost the troubled pop star dearly – she will go a month without seeing her two young sons.
Spears arrived at Los Angeles Superior Court for a crucial custody hearing four hours late and then reportedly refused to enter the courthouse. The singer left, only to return minutes later appearing briefly before an army of paparazzi and then speeding off again.
I think we just crossed the dividing line between nurture and nature here. There’s some gears stripped and some sprockets popped and some cotter pins sheared, but when the machinery gets just-so-bollywonkers you have to say, maybe it’s not a matter of having been a spoiled brat child-star — at some point, you have to say the material was flawed at the very beginning.
And it kind of makes an impression on me, as well, that I’m suddenly feeling sorry for KFed. And the boys. This is awful…you couldn’t wish such a situation on your very worst enemy.
Oh, and now for the uber-painful, reality-based, obvious stuff. I could very well be wrong about the “nature over nurture” stuff. The possibility exists, and it is not a remote one, that you can emerge from the womb perfectly healthy and whole and get this screwed up just-because. You can be estranged from reality through such an obdurate and sustained ordeal that is what passes for your “life,” that you can everlastingly lose your ability to deal with either reality, OR life.
There is a degree of likelihood involved in that. If that is the case, let the rest of us look well upon the lesson.
