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...
The Conservative Platform, I was thinking, is missing a “voter eligibility test” and it should have one.
I didn’t feel too strongly about sticking one in until I read the comments on Jonathan Martin’s blog, which I referenced here.
I do not wish to make the test time consuming or demanding. I do not even think it should be about “intelligence,” per se. It just needs to weed out people who have absolutely zip, zero, nada, zilch, bubkes…no problem-solving skills whatsoever. You wonder how they get dressed in the morning. We have some politicians trying to push some proposals up to that magical 51% mark, and from where I sit, in a sane world they should be having some real problems getting the support up past 15%. Things are not the way they need to be.
Question One I would steal from that wonderful movie…
If you have one five-gallon jug…and one three gallon jug…how many jugs do you have?
Question Two: What is the difference between a square and a rectangle?
Question Three: Why is it not exactly going out on a limb, when you make a prediction like “It Will Rain”?
Question Four: What is one times one?
Question Five: If you are driving a bus, and you stop and some people get on, who is driving the bus?
Update:
Thinking on it some more…
How do you divide six apples, evenly, among…six people?
And…
Which of the following numbers is a prime number? 2000, 4000, 6000, 8000, 7.
And…
You walk into a room. At one end of the room is a rope. At the other end of the room is a man with a very sharp knife. Your assignment is to cut the rope in half. The man tells you he will cut the rope in half with his knife for ten dollars, or rent you the knife for five dollars. You have five dollars in your pocket. What do you do?
And…
Beneath this question, take your pencil and write a letter. I mean, a letter from the alphabet. Any letter you want. There is no wrong answer so long as it is a letter from the alphabet. Just write it.
