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...
…like you’ve never pedaled before. Head for the arboretum.
Because we bicyclists don’t have enough of a rep for being smug and holier-than-thou — yet.

Coming soon to a college town near you, no doubt.
You know, I sure wish old-style penitential religion would make a comeback. Seems to me that what the proggies really need is a good old fashioned flagellant procession. They can preen and wail and revel in their moral superiority before God and everyone, but without bossing the rest of us around…
…and yeah, I know the “bossing the rest of us around” is also integral to the liberal project. Having no distinction or accomplishment, or any prospect of ever getting any, they get their jollies bossing the rest of us. For that, I suggest a National Day of Repentance, where we all go to our rooms and think about what we’ve done. Or hell, even pick up dog doo at a local park or something. It’d suck, but I’m willing to sacrifice one day of my life if it’ll shut the Amanda Marcottes and Matthew Yglesiases of the world up for the rest of the year…
Think about it: the proggies could make it their very own little cottage industry, with “Repent, O Ye Sinners!” cards and placards printed on 100% recyclable paper. They could ride their bikes down to the flagellant procession, and they could endlessly update each other about it on Facebook. They could even make little cards and whatnot and give each other gifts of shade-grown, free-trade, sustainable tofu on Repentance Day. They get to circle-jerk to their hearts’ content, and the rest of us get to go about our lives!
Hey, a guy can dream, right? (these are the kinds of thoughts you have when you have insomnia, by the way).

Like the jackass that parks in front of my CBR @ work, instead of to the side, where there is plenty of room. I’ve been picking his toy up and movong it to where a courteous person would park it, but if I’ve had a bad day, it may be relocated to the far side of the parking lot.
As far as dealing with cagers goes, I do fantisize about tapping on their window with the barrel of my sidearm.
