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...
…one of the angriest, bitchiest flogs around, if indeed it isn’t on the very top of the stack. But now we see the uppity, screeching flog makes some good sense. Stopped clocks, twice daily, and all that.
The ultimate in victim-blaming?
Apparently President Pervez Musharraf thinks that the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’ was her own fault. Seriously.
“For standing up outside the car, I think it was she to blame alone — nobody else. Responsibility is hers,” the former general told CBS’ “60 Minutes.”
Or, you know, the person who killed her. But I guess I’m just traditional like that.
President Musharraf has been described to me as a lesser-of-evils from the point of view of the USA — walking a fine line, presiding over a truly messed-up nation, trying not to lean too far in support of or in opposition to the terrorists.
These aren’t the words of someone walking a fine line. They don’t look like it. Not to me, and not at all. They impress me as the words of a real asshat.
I know in this post-atomic age there’s a lot of foreign-diplomacy stuff handled through meaningless gestures…condemning this, deploring that…the strongly worded letter and what-not. Secretary Rice, is this a good time to toss out another one? If not, why not?

You know, we tell them, and we tell them, and we tell them, “Don’t stand up and poke your head outside the bomb-proof car!”
But they just DON’T LISTEN!
