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...
Not entirely sure how many months, weeks or days we’re talking about when we read one more article about Levi Johnston living with the Palins and getting his inside scoops on what goes on in that household. But his talking about it, is starting to take on the air of a Barbra Streisand or Cher or Madonna “final farewell tour.”
Do we have to “learn” new “truths” about Sarah Palin every time Johnston needs a new tin of chaw now, or it’s time for him to gas up that ginormous expensive truck?
It goes without saying these stories have currency and demand. And it further goes without saying that the reason they’re in demand, is that the public has this fascination with warped, dysfunctional personalities.
What’s not so obvious is — maybe the public’s real fascination with “Levi has more dirt to dish on Sarah” isn’t quite so much a fixation on the flaws in her character, but rather on the flaws in his. After all, it isn’t every day you get to make an acquaintance of a Sarah Palin, but there are Levi Johnstons everywhere you look, and we’re all a little bit unsure about how to handle them. Other than the obvious things, like not counting on them to do anything important, or say anything that’s true.
Those who doubt that, should probably read this. By all means, buy that issue of Vanity Fair, but know what you’re getting. Not quite so much an accurate portrait of events, but a window into a troubled soul. And I’m not talking about hers.

I’m still shaking over my head over some fool over at Cassy’s who thinks that Palin is “damaged goods” because of her association with this clown and his classless family.
