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...
John Hawkins has collected some quotes from the coach. He had put ’em up when Wooden’s exit was merely a rumor; at this hour, it is established fact.
My kinda fella.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
You can do more good by being good than any other way.
Discipline yourself and others won’t need to.
That first one just digs in to the crux of this post of ours, which blogger friend Buck didn’t like. Since Coach Wooden managed to say in just a few words what we awkwardly stammered out over the course of hundreds, we think he would’ve had a better appreciation for what we were trying to say.
Character, reputation. One’s internal, one’s external. Character can survive just fine without the reputation to go with it, but a good reputation isn’t worth a damn without the character to back it up.
