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...
From here, all the glories in technology and culture we have achieved, feast on themselves. From here, our old people know not what happened, our young adults know not what they do, our children know not what they are. From here, we go zipping downward from the apogee toward which we’ve ascended, climbed and struggled in generations past, reprising the fall of Rome in the age of Nero. Faster and faster. Like a lawn dart.
All who question or doubt, feast your eyes.
H/T: Gerard.

Actually, that’s pretty cool someone designed a stroller to pull the mommy for a change. :p What, no remote? 😉

“How are you able to write a womans character”
“Well its quiet easy actually. I take a man, and take away reason and accountability.”
- tim | 05/16/2008 @ 16:08Ahhhh…I dunno, m’friend. You know I live in Northern California, where the men wait in line at Starbuck’s to order drinks just as complicated and foo-foo as their female counterparts — can’t name for me three actors out of A Bridge Too Far, and when you ask them their opinion about charcoal vs. gas, most of ’em just give you that dumb look.
I see this as shared culpability between the sexes. You know how, when story after story bubbles up about deadbeat dads not paying their child support and it looks like All Men Are Scum, and we say “well hey waitaminnit, there are decent guys out there, how come these are all the guys having the kids, who’s deciding whether they have kids or not?” And so we throw the girls under the bus. This seems to me like the same thing coming ’round the other way. Even if it is the women demanding this kind of overly-anesthetized world (and having spent years here, as well as in Gerard’s neck of the woods, I have to debate that)…if you can make that discovery, you’ll have to put some blame on the guys for agreeing to it.
I’m really glad he put this picture up. It’s almost Memorial Day and we haven’t been camping yet. So this is just the reminder I need. Maybe this is the summer we’ll get that Marlin .22.
