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...
I’m completely virginal to American Idol and intend to stay that way. But this looks like an episode that would make fine viewing. Not because of Bikini Girl, I can watch girls in bikinis in all kinds of places.
Cat fights yeah, that’s where it’s at.
Thankfully, [new judge everyone’s talkin’ about Kara] DioGuardi doesn’t let ’em all down gently. Case in point: Katrina “Bikini Girl” Darrell. I know it’s hot in Phoenix — but a bathing suit to an Idol audition? What was Simon going to say about that?
Well, nothing, really. The usually bitter Brit’s eyes bulged out of his head when modelesque Darrell entered the room — and he even said “yes” (with a dorky grin, to boot) when the near-nude contender botched A Vision of Love. Ditto a beaming Jackson.
Abdul was more hesitant, but DioGuardi was downright baffled: “I can’t allow (Simon) to say, ‘Yes,’ ” she said — then proceeded to sing a significantly more melodic version of the tune.
The claws really came out when Darrell whined that DioGuardi’s demonstration “wasn’t any better,” prompting the judge to sing again before finally giving up and sending her through to Hollywood — sarcastically adding, “Next time, come naked.”
Me-ow!
Heh, the resident jerk had a “dorky grin.” That would have been entertaining to see. Mildly entertaining.
Mildly entertaining as in, worthy of a chuckle. Dedicating all of my evening time to it, week after week, year after year, gathering ’round the office water cooler to chatter away about who’s going to get booted off…not so much.

I dunno. That’s a pretty nice … um … bikini.

“I’m completely virginal to American Idol and intend to stay that way.”
Right there with ya’ Morgan, I’d rather chew on glass than watch that crap.
BTW, think Simon with a dirty blond high & tight with blue eyes and that’s what I look like. Complete strangers come up to me and tell me all the time. I’m thinking of dying my hair, getting colored contacts and taking advantage of some women…I kid, I kid…kind’a…
