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...
Hotel to Open Women Only Section
A new section of the five-star Grange City Hotel in central London will be opened with a strict no-men-allowed policy, in an effort to appeal to a market of travelling women who are afraid of men, suspicious of men, tired of men hitting on them, find men to be exhausting, want to be able to tell their insecure husbands that they can’t see any men, or for whatever reason just plain don’t want to be around men.
Even room service staff will be female in the seven-storey building that will open at the end of August.
The Grange Hotel Group offered the service after research showed half its customers were women, many of whom felt vulnerable when travelling alone.
While civil libertarians on both sides of “The Pond” have instructed us to show increased concern & get generally uppity over Tony Blair’s new policy of deporting clerics & other loudmouths who deliberately incite others to violence, said civil libertarians have been generally silent, calm and pliable on this assault on the concept of equal-protection and anti-discrimination. Scientists are at a complete loss as to explain why, although more grant money might help.
Okay, those last two sentences I may have made up.
As a man, I don’t see anything wrong with it at all. We all know men get a charge of out of hitting on travelling women, especially when you think you have a chance, but we all know if the woman’s not interested it’s no picnic for her, and who the hell wants to hit on a travelling woman who would rather not be around any men at all, let alone you. Besides, you don’t have a civil liberty to hit on women who don’t want you around.
I say, let’em go ahead with the pink hotel, with an eye toward bringing the practice over here. If us yanks build entire women-only hotel wings, maybe we’ll be one step closer to that gentleman’s-club with the plush leather recliners, glasses of warm brandy, cigars, fireplaces, spitoons and dancing girls. Maybe we could even have a gentleman’s-club in Sacramento.
Um, like, yeah.
I did manage to get this photograph of the parking garage behind the women’s-only wing of the Grange City Hotel:
