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...
Before all the serious stuff starts with tomorrow’s election in Massachusetts…a little bit of fun, with the most poorly-defined super-hero, or heroine, ever. Whoever’s making the movie, you should come up with some solid answers to these before finalizing the script…
1. How long is her golden lasso, anyway? And its tensile strength?
2. Can she fly?
3. If she can, then what’s up with that invisible jet?
4. If she really does have a damn invisible jet, when she climbs into it, can people still see her?
5. What if she tries to deflect a bullet and she misses? Can it break her skin then? Why bother then?
6. Does the bullet have to be subsonic in order for her to deflect it?
7. How strong is she? Is she something like five healthy women, or is she on a “planet-hurling Superman” scale?
8. Can she breathe in outer space?
9. If she can’t, can she survive in outer space with just an air supply, wearing that skimpy costume?
10. Speaking of the skimpy costume, can she really change her clothes by twirling around?
11. Is it a super-duper secret that she’s really Diana Prince?
12. If it is, then is it general knowledge within the Justice League or Justice Society?
13. Is she really 2500 years old?
14. Is she a virgin?
15. What’s her preference, anyway? Is she bi? Asex? Les? Hetero, but keeping herself chaste for someone?
16. Does she know lots of different languages?
17. Can she solve complex mathematical equations and problems involving physics?
18. Can she talk to animals?
19. Is she pro-choice? If so, how does she feel about partial-birth abortion? What if the “fetus” happens to be female?
20. Is her mother still alive?
21. Is she made out of something that resembles human flesh?
22. If so, does she ever tire out?
23. How about speed? Is she in the same class as The Flash?
24. If not, then is she at least a little quicker than a slightly-above-average normal woman?
25. Was she fighting Nazis in World War II?
26. If so, then is she fighting crime contemporarily (now)?
27. If yes to the above two, then has she been granted some kind of immortality? How much? Does she even know?
28. I read that she can withstand extreme temperatures. So she can go hiking on Mt. Everest in that teensy thing?
29. How about overheating? Can she burn? What if she gets dumped in that vat of steel that killed the Terminator?
30. What’s it like to be forced to tell the truth with that lasso? Is it agonizing? Because that would be really cool.
31. What exactly is Diana Prince’s job?
32. Can she go a very long time without sleep?
33. How high can she jump?
34. Does she really lose all her powers when she’s bound by a man?
35. If that’s the case, what happens when she’s bound by a woman?
36. What’s it called exactly? “Themiscyra,” “Lesbos” or “Paradise Island”?
37. Is it true she never left the place before her mother sent her to “Man’s World”?
38. If that be the case, then how’d she meet Alexander the Great? Julius Caesar? Hercules? All them guys?
39. Was she originally made of clay? Is that why she can wear short-shorts in outer space? Does she perspire?
40. Is she wearing Diana Prince’s makeup when she goes out fighting crime? Does she touch-it-up again when she’s done?
41. (Question #41 is redacted, being a real man I just don’t want to get into this stuff)
42. Are they real?
43. What exactly holds up that bustier?
44. Can her bracelets deflect a .44? A Desert Eagle .50? Artillery shell? RPG?
45. Does she have super-hearing? Telescopic vision? Can she listen to a man’s footsteps and tell what his eye color is?
46. Do her boots have high heels? If so, how fast can she run?
47. Now for the important stuff: Bare legs or hose?
48. Does she eat real food? Can she go a long time without eating? Does she have a normal heartbeat?
49. Does she retain her beauty-queen physique if she wolfs down ten six-dollar burgers at Carl’s Jr.?
50. Does she carry any money with her? Where exactly?

I have some of the same questions about Superman, like….does he ever need to take a dump like the rest of us?
I think I’ve figured out what question 41 was….does it have anything to do with “that time of the month?”
