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...
WorldNet Daily, by way of Fox News:
The group contends the placement of the 17-foot-tall symbol at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum is making some atheists unbearably sick.
“The plaintiffs, and each of them, are suffering, and will continue to suffer damages, both physical and emotional, from the existence of the challenged cross,” the lawsuit American Atheists v. Port Authority of New York and New Jersey states. “Named plaintiffs have suffered …. dyspepsia, symptoms of depression, headaches, anxiety, and mental pain and anguish from the knowledge that they are made to feel officially excluded from the ranks of citizens who were directly injured by the 9/11 attack.”
Hmmmm…dyspepsia:
Dyspepsia (indigestion) is best described as a functional disease. (Sometimes, it is called functional dyspepsia.) The concept of functional disease is particularly useful when discussing diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The concept applies to the muscular organs of the gastrointestinal tract-esophagus, stomach, small intestine, gallbladder, and colon. What is meant by the term, functional, is that either the muscles of the organs or the nerves that control the organs are not working normally, and, as a result, the organs do not function normally, and the dysfunction causes the symptoms. The nerves that control the organs include not only the nerves that lie within the muscles of the organs but also the nerves of the spinal cord and brain.
So their esophagi, stomachs, small intestines, gallbladders and/or colons are not working right…because they’re looking at a cross.
Well maybe we could interpret it more charitably and flexibly, to say they are upset — because they’re looking around, across and toward land that is not under their ownership or control, and on that land they are seeing a reminder that there are other people who do not believe as they do.
They’re being intolerant. I submit that any other definition of the word, that doesn’t apply in this case, is not a workable definition.
Intolerant vampires.

Atheists groups, besides being slightly oxymoronic, are for complete losers who want nothing more then to piss people off. They have no principles or values about upholding some BS about “separation of church and state“. See the ridiculous examples of the “symptoms” they have suffered. Just a complete embarrassment.
For the record, I’m a heathen, proud of it in fact. These idiots, let’s call ‘em what they are, do not speak for me, and I suspect the majority of atheists.
In fact, if I was so inclined, and had a bunch of cash to do so, I’d like to file a class action lawsuit against these idiots for defamation of character. Or mental anguish…something. I’m positive I could get plenty of other atheists to join in.
Effing jackwagons.

Okay, they probably are atheists, but I still stand by my second definition as being their defining characteristic.
