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...
A boy, fourteen or so, young farm-laborer, fell down a well. All of the farmhands gathered around, doing whatever they could to save him. Men brought ropes. They lowered the ropes, lowered baskets on the ropes, even lowered some men on the ropes. Nothing worked.
Day turned into night, night turned into day. The ropes would be lowered, the boy would yell up that he had hold of the rope, the men would pull…and then they’d feel the separation, keep pulling and they’d pull out a tattered end. Over and over they tried. Sometimes things looked hopeful. But, always with the same results.
And then, on the fourth agonizing day…someone took a look at all the failed ropes. And they noticed they were not torn, they were cut…all evidently, and with some more examination provably, with the same blade…

- CaptDMO | 09/23/2017 @ 12:14Yeah, I wasn’t gonna say anything because I didn’t want to sound stupid but…I don’t get it. Is it supposed to be metaphorical for someone? The boy’s cutting the ropes to get attention?

I’m trying to break the pattern of explaining so much that there’s nothing more to be said. This one is hard to get until you open your mind to certain unsavory possibilities, and then I think it becomes obvious. All ropes cut with the same blade, can only mean one thing right?
