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...
And man, I’m just lovin’ the picture with the article. Gonna be usin’ that one.
…a New York surgeon, Richard Batista, is asking his wife, Dawnell Batista, for the kidney he gave her in 2001 back, or if she can’t live without it (ha ha)–for $1.5 million in exchange for his regret over the gift.
Good on her for taking his name. But as I understand it, she instigated divorce proceedings after she slept around.
I do think this is legally silly but it’s equally silly to suppose this a bolt-outta-the-blue, no one would think of such a thing save for a truly deranged mind. Not necessarily the case. I can think of a scenario or two. For example — if she’s asking for alimony. No. Nobody’s walking around with one of my organs in her (…no, not that one) and asking for regular payments just to keep her comfy on top of alive. Not without an issue like this coming up. So without knowing anything more than I do right now, that’s my educated guess: He’s being slapped with alimony, or he expects to be, and he’s covering his bases ahead of time with a “What About.” That much, I’d do. Especially if it’s her idea to get out.
Even if I’m wrong, it doesn’t make him a cad, by any means. Just a bit of a nut.
I would apply equal standards if the roles were reversed, by the way. I wonder if all the armchair-judgenjuries who are condemning him for this, can say the same. How ’bout it? He slept with another girl, and then started divorce proceedings against his lovely bride, with her kidney inside him. So the wifey slapped him with a demand. Covering her bases, cold hearted bitch, or a li’l of both?
No fair having one opinion about one, and another ’bout another.
