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...
Neal Boortz has good ideas. Now and then, anyway. And I’m given cause to think this might be one of his better ones: An open thread for comments about dead celebrities. As a lightning rod to discourage thread-jacking elsewhere.
Hasn’t been a problem here at all. This is The Blog That Nobody Reads, after all. Of course, there was that one incident over on Right Wing News…not sure at all whether threadkiller arthur_branch is a well-intentioned bumpkin or a threadjacking prick. One thing I do know for sure, is this:
I do NOT, repeat NOT, associate the name of Billy Mays with dumb ideas. Nope. Sorry. You’re not going to “sell” me on that idea. We’ve got cupboards and pantries stuffed full of OxyClean, a salad dressing bottle of it under the kitchen sink for those morning five-minute coffee-pot cleaning sessions. And a gravy jar full of the stuff at work, for the same purpose. OxyClean, there’s nothing like it. And I owe it all to Mr. Mays.
Billy Mays has had so much more of a genuinely positive impact on our lives, than some plastic-nosed, little-boy-raping pansy monkey-weirdo jackass.
Anyway, can The Blog That Nobody Reads have a useful open thread? Opine away. Charlie’s Angels, Kung Fu, your favorite infomercials, The Tonight Show…have at it. And don’t forget the lovely Natasha, who might very well have been the classiest of the bunch. She’s gone too, and went well before her time. One of those people about whom nobody can be found to say a single unkind word.
Thoughts?

Ok, I’ll start. For grins.
“Jacko” — I think he’s better off dead, and I mean that in a kind way toward him. Dude was seriously screwed up. Personally, I even have doubts about the “pedophile” bit. He was screwed up enough to seriously want to keep being a little boy — the last time there was any normalcy to his life. I’ll allow that he might have been, but I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt. He was plenty screwed up in other areas to where he was a freak no matter which way you sliced him.
Now I’ve never been a fan. But he did have some serious talent. Sadly, he wasted a lot of it. The vast majority of his catalog, to me, is trash. He put out a few OK things, especially when he was younger. His material in general was never my gig, and I had a big problem with all the crotch grabbing.
In the end, though, adults bring on tragedy like this themselves, and I have a hard time getting worked up over it. He had plenty of time and plenty of money to do whatever it might’ve taken to get his head screwed on straight, and … he chose poorly.
I wasn’t a huge fan of any of the celebs that fell by the wayside this time around. I didn’t have anything against the others, at least. Farah was pretty enough, and appeared to be a decent enough person. Billy was … well he was good at what he did, and he did it with gusto.
People’s deaths are usually sad occasions, with exceptions like Saddam Hussein, Adolph Hitler, any flippin’ terrorist. Farah’s and Billy’s were just their time. Michael’s, I think, he had made a date with years ago.
