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...
From another one of my old stomping grounds, we have a story of…I guess what you get when you cross Hooter’s with Starbuck’s. Naturally they had to wait for me to leave before giving the green light. Bastards.
Sometimes wearing little more than pasties and bikini bottoms, the scantily clad baristas at [Grab ‘N’ Go Espresso Owner Bill] Wheeler’s stands have scores of well-tipping customers.
While customers are expressing support with their pocketbooks, some people are complaining that these new businesses are pushing boundaries too far.
They’ve told law enforcement officers and elected officials that they think the stands should be more tightly regulated.
“I’m not against people making money,” said Kimberly Gainza, 37, of Everett. “What I’m against is how they’re going about doing it. It’s not right — on a road where everybody can see.”
Gainza got a jolt a few weeks ago while stuck in traffic on Highway 99. She spotted a barista with bright blue stickers strategically placed on her chest standing at a stand’s drive-up window.
As long as genitals and nipples are covered, police say the stands do not violate indecent exposure laws. Health officials and state Labor and Industries officials say there are no clothing requirements for baristas.
Gainza said she wants to change that and is hoping she can persuade policymakers to clamp down.
Damn, I do love stories about half-naked women. It’s like the pictures aren’t worth half as much fun as the comically stupid things people are going to be saying about the half-naked women and their half-nakedness. Gosh darn it! There’s something wrong with that! Gimme time, I’ll think of something.
One thing though. How come this Gainza person’s last name isn’t hyphenated? And does she teach her woman’s studies class at Everett Community, or at You-Dub?

somehow, I’d find that hard to object to – but then again, I’m a man.
