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...
Via Boortz, an interesting observation of an annual gathering of talk radio hosts. There’s some big money in talk radio, but if you think that translates to the players having a good understanding of and respect for market forces…well…your thinking would appear to be in need of a re-think.
The Lighthouse Theater on Manhattan’s upper east side was jammed packed Saturday afternoon for what Talkers magazine’s founder Michael Harrison billed as “the most important session” of the annual gathering of talk show hosts from across the nation.
:
By my estimation there was one conservative, one center-left moderate, and four liberals on the panel. The task was simple: to engage in a discussion of ideas as to how non-dominant voices could be used in the medium of talk radio today.
:
When [Jesse Lee] Peterson invoked that name of [Al] Sharpton and later Jesse Jackson he irritated the remaining two panelists Charles Ethridge a weekend co-host on New York’s KISS-FM, and Coz Carlson WWRL’s morning host also based in New York. Immediately the scene turned into five on one.Immediately Mr. Ethridge claimed “racism” in the agencies that “buy” black owned stations, and what they are willing to spend as compared to “white” stations. Claiming that the “system” allowed stations who performed better in the ratings to only “earn” .92 for the “earnings” of 1.27 for “white” stations.
Once the panel considers what exactly is to be done about this racism, it gets even more interesting.
