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 Cracked has managed to come up with six ways how…
6. The Environment is Doing Great
Ever since Al Gore became the boogeyman who springs up from the back seat every time we gas up the Hummer, environmentalism has been big on everyone’s mind. We try to recycle, carpool and eat less bald eagle. But is any of that enough? Well, probably not, no. But don’t worry, where your personal efforts fail, global economic crisis excels.
5. Great Deals on Whores
It says something about the power of the current economical crisis when even the oldest profession in the world feels the cold, uncircumcised sting of the recession in its rear end. Sadly, times being what they are, many conservative politicians and hard working fathers had to cut down on teenage-runaways; instead spending their meager extra dollars on things like grandma’s medication and HBO.
4. Tons of New Junk Food, and Fine Wine to Wash it All Down
If you tend to watch lowest common denominator shows, such as America’s Got Talent, Cops or anything on the FOX network, and the commercials that cater to the audiences of said shows, you probably already heard about KFC’s new grilled chicken despite the fact their very name makes this new idea look completely ridiculous. It’d be like Gary’s Fisting Emporium suddenly offering non-fisting services, like firm handshakes and hugs.
3. Old Media is Dying Faster
Let’s be honest: All of us have dreamed about making money off the Internet, but generally only the ones with a handful of undiagnosed manic disorders who undress in front of a camera for sweaty middle-aged men have made that dream a reality. Many companies still refuse to treat this series of tubes as anything serious, writing it off as some whippersnapper fad like Frisbees or Polio shots.
2. People are Forced to Grow Up
They say the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. And while that may be true, it doesn’t really mention douchebags who are poor but have rich parents. Where do those young men and women who wear knit scarves in the summer and wax philosophical over frappuccinos fit into the equation? Nowhere anymore.
1. You are Living Healthier and Feeling Better
Research by Stanford University and the University of North Carolina has shown that when times are good people tend to not take care of themselves. We eat bacon-wrapped bacon and drink Thunderbird while we shower. We eat out at restaurants, we neglect our families and drop the responsibilities of raising kids on stoned teenagers and crooked daycare centers because we are also usually overworked and overstressed when the economy is booming.
Wow…I really like the picture of that environment-lady…but the sentiment involved in these bullets has the faint whiff of, oh I can’t quite place it…+++sniff-sniff+++ That’s it! Now I got it! Liberal douchebag anti-human self-loathing claptrap.
In fact, Number One kind of reminds me of our Treasury Secretary’s asinine comments from a week ago.
Oh well. There’s something to be said for seeing silver linings in every cloud, anyway.

Does anyone read Cracked anymore? I laugh at their “humor” less and less. It’s got more profanity in it…than tapioca pudding has of those little rubbery bits. Yeah yeah, it makes it more ribald. But a good cook knows when to stop “seasoning the soup,” so to speak.
Reminds me of the way MAD Magazine went headfirst full-speed into moonbat-laced claptrap back when Bill Gaines, the legendary publisher and founder of the magazine…died. Both MAD and Cracked are just plain depressing these days. And that’s when they aren’t pissing me off with their ceaseless sniping at Christians and other social conservatives.
