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...
This has mushroomed throughout Monday into one of those “Everyone else is linking it, I might as well do it too” things. Which isn’t sufficient to put it on my radar by itself, and at any rate my attitude was “aw, cut her a break, she’s a teenager and she had to think on her feet.” Butterflies in the tummy and all that.
Well, screw that. The 3.5 GPA, for those who may not know, is on a scale of four. You can tell by the way the young lady draws out the word “beleeeeeve,” that over the years she’s been given mad props for so opining, which is fairly typical for attractive young women. The tendency is for attractive young people, females especially, to be given the same credit for articulating their opinions that less desirable social creatures would be given for researching and validating hard fact.
Which, of course, I’m in no position to do at the moment. I don’t know this is her history for sure. But in life, there are some things that may be presumed because most of the signs are there. And in this case, ALL of the signs are there. She’s an idiot who’s been given a free pass, and then some, because she’s gorgeous. Gorgeous, with a knockout body, blond hair, white skin, straight teeth. Her artificially sky-high grade-point is a disservice to her schools, to everybody else, and to herself especially.
Update: Heh…you’ve just gotta see this.
