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...
What a great word.
One of my Hello Kitty of Blogging friends found it after I said…
…[W]e’re missing a word we need, a male version of “slut.” A slut is a woman who will spread her legs for any dude, applying no discretion or decision process at all.
We need a word to describe the dudes who, having been granted access by these sluts, are young, inexperienced, childish and stupid enough to labor under the delusion that they’ve been given the same high compliment, that a non-slut-woman gives a man in the same situation. You know, a woman of virtue, who’s applying standards, and good judgment, and has made a conscious decision of “I’m looking for husband/father material and I think you’ve got it.” It’s been called the highest compliment a woman can pay to a man…
We need a word to describe these guys who screw sluts, and think they’ve been given this compliment, when all they’ve really done is something that requires less skill or remarkable human talent than shucking an oyster.
And then added to my thoughts with…
Maybe I shouldn’t be too hard on them. I was one myself once…and let’s face it, our society does absolutely nothing to teach young men the difference.
Well. Hello-Kitty Kommunity to the rescue:
…derogatory term generally used to describe a sleazy male in a position of power, who uses his position to have sex with females; literally, a person who “hops on whores”, i.e., a person who has sex with whores. The term does not appear to be in widespread usage, but tends to be applied more to sleazebag good ol boys from the American South. Newspaper/magazine editors, certain U.S. Presidents, and record company executives are common targets of the attribution.
It isn’t an exact fit; this seems to be describing middle-aged mature men of power and stature, who don’t care about whether the lady is giving-it-up because of his noble qualities & ambitions, or just-because…because of their position of power. I’m looking for a descriptive term for the young “blokes,” who achieve a similar apathy about it because of their youth and ignorance.
But it’s good enough. Whorehopper. We’re up to our eyebrows in whores & whorehoppers.

“Whoremonger” may be archaic (and Firefox gives the word a red-squiggly), but it fits.
