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’re suffering from a Rodney Dangerfield problem, can’t get no respect (hat tip to Cas).
When a Saudi religious policeman sauntered about an amusement park in the eastern Saudi Arabian city of Al-Mubarraz looking for unmarried couples illegally socializing, he probably wasn’t expecting much opposition.
But when he approached a young, 20-something couple meandering through the park together, he received an unprecedented whooping.
A member of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, the Saudi religious police known locally as the Hai’a, asked the couple to confirm their identities and relationship to one another, as it is a crime in Saudi Arabia for unmarried men and women to mix.
For unknown reasons, the young man collapsed upon being questioned by the cop.
According to the Saudi daily Okaz, the woman then allegedly laid into the religious policeman, punching him repeatedly, and leaving him to be taken to the hospital with bruises across his body and face.
Old Iron thinks this is hilarious.
Me, I’m just waiting for the same thing to happen here. It’s just too bad we don’t have any “virtue police” who strut around begging for an ass-kicking.
Yes I know these are kids and I shouldn’t be hoping they get beaten up, and I also see it is a parody. But we do have “virtue police” of our own.
It would seem both countries are bit overdue in the “civil disobedience” department. It would be nice if a tree hugger, at any age, started waggling a finger at someone for…not littering, I’m with ’em on the littering thing, I hate litterers…but something altogether acceptable. Like having a dorm room fridge. Or drinking out of a styrofoam cup. And then, how did Old Iron put it? Get his ass handed to him by a girl in a Ninja outfit.
It would make my day. Just sayin’.

HA! That was a great article to read first thing in the morning.
Like Old Iron & I discussed, a revolution is coming… a much needed one in SAUDI. But it might get real ugly before then… who knows.
And that video… LOL… thanks for the giggles…
