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...
The point of the commercial (aside from to sell the product) is that you shouldn’t look down on it.
You’d think the feminists would be jumping for joy. Well, nope. Silly you. When’s the last time you saw a feminist jumping for joy…when a man wasn’t rolling around on a floor in agony clutching his nuts?
Men’s armpit hair does not grow that long, why would a woman’s? It kind of reminds me of the movie Without a Paddle (specifically @ 1:20) and how women’s body hair, when we allow ourselves to have it, is greatly exaggerated in the media. Because we’re supposed to be hair free, otherwise we’re masculine. *rolls eyes*
:
Screw you for enforcing gender stereotypes and body issues.
People fighting for men and women to be exactly the same. And feedin’ on their own, like sharks at a frenzy.
I think “Maeve” has language issues. Doesn’t exactly strike me as virginal to the college-curriculum of Entirely Useless Skills. I mean, real people, who get real things done…don’t talk like this. “Screw you for enforcing gender stereotypes”?
The word “feminist” is gradually devolving into something that has to do with crusading for bits and pieces of a world in which most people do not want to live. I mean, think about it. Women with hairy armpits. Men and women exactly the same. Men not allowed to have opinions. Women acting like Dr. House. No one has a gun except the bad guys.
Nothing really going on to reign them in, is there? So expect to see a whole lot more of it.
But it can still get a whole lot worse. When I was coming of age, it was the early 1980’s…and whatever feminists wanted, they got, no questions asked. I wonder if we’ll go that far this time.

I stopped watching television some years ago.
Every once in a while I think “I might be missing something”.
Thank you for convincing me again that I am not.

Hairy armpits on women is gross. Choosing to wear a mantle of screechy righteous feminism is just downright ugly.
I like House, he’s one funny b*stard.
- Daphne | 02/25/2009 @ 16:52It just blows me away that they’re not happy until & unless women are the same as, or are portrayed as the same as, men. In every conceivable way. And yet — if you walked up to ’em and said “Let me get this straight, women should try to be exactly like men,” you know what they’ll think of that and you know it isn’t going to be positive.
I think deep down they have an unhappiness nobody else can ever understand.
- mkfreeberg | 02/25/2009 @ 23:33They’re weird women, Freeburg. I expect they’re all spoiled.
It’s not natural for my sex to want equation with men. Why would we want to? I love men, happily appreciate the technological ease and hormonal sanity they’ve given the world, but I believe my unique femaleness offers its own set of wonderful benefits. Why would I ever want to negate my innate worth, or beauty, by growing ugly, long pit hair or ranting incoherently against the sex that I like to sleep with to make a pointless statement?
