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...
A month ago I had passed out a citation for best sentence and, by implication, made a resolution to keep on doing it. I have a lot of habits; some are good, some are bad. This strikes me as one of my better ones. It has not escaped my notice that when I take on a new habit, the more it has to do with absorbing lessons from others, the more likely I am to look back on the habit and regard it as a good one.
Today I am confronted with a philosophical question. Or a set of philosophical questions. Ethical dilemmas, you might say.
Is it alright for me to recognize a “best sentence” because it arouses me to — not think deeply, but — to chuckle?
What if it’s not in the best of taste?
What if it’s in downright poor taste?
What if it makes me cringe? And giggle at the same time?
Well…I guess I’ll leave that to the philosophers. As a TOTALFARK subscriber, I must confess, I have never, never, not ever, submitted a headline quite as, aw, sheesh. I’m not sure what the adjective is. I’m not even sure if I want to make it a positive adjective. Anyway…it deserves a bookmarking.
Not saying I approve…I just think it deserves a bookmarking. That’s all. C’mon, lighten up.

It’d probably be funnier if it weren’t for the fact that I haven’t watched 60 minutes in… 20 years?
Oh, that’s right… Harry Reasoner.
Anyway, it’s really hard to see the black on dark purple here trying to type this comment.
I know, I know. Doesn’t this guy do anythinb but whine?
“I can’t sign up”
“there’s a big gap”
“I can’t see what I’m typing”

This is a test. But nobody’s reading it anyway.
