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...
Actually, that’s a bad headline because nowhere in the story does anyone purporting to possess knowledge or authority, say or suggest such a thing. And yet, that is exactly what would have to be inferred in order to imbue this with any importance or relevance whatsoever.
People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help tackle climate change, the world’s leading authority on global warming has told The Observer
Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which last year earned a joint share of the Nobel Peace Prize, said that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.
I’m a funny guy; I have red blood in my veins and I come from a planet called “Earth.” So in my world, if you can’t say “there’s a decent chance we can kick the problem’s ass, for good, if everyone stops eating meat tomorrow” then all the milder offerings represent just so much nonsense and noise.
Anyone wanna give an argument that that somehow might not be the case?
“In terms of immediacy of action and the feasibility of bringing about reductions in a short period of time, it clearly is the most attractive opportunity,” said Pachauri. “Give up meat for one day [a week] initially, and decrease it from there,” said the Indian economist, who is a vegetarian.
Heh. Doesn’t that just sum up exactly what the global warming political movement is really all about. “If I’m not doing something, I don’t want anyone anywhere else to do it either.”

It’s being taught in all the best anthropology classes!
That reminds me… we have some ribeyes in the freezer that are soundin’ pretty good right now.
- philmon | 09/09/2008 @ 14:24I blogged about this a couple days ago. I was steaming mad, too.
Make no mistake, the global warming zealots will stop at nothing to push their agenda through.
