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...
Bill Whittle had to attend (H/T: Fellow Webloggin contributor Bookworm).
Some priceless stuff results from that.
My own impressions had to do with the twin goals of the class I attended:
1. To foster a work environment free of offense, discomfort or intimidation for the benefit of all;
2. To get the message across that in defining sexual harrassment, the intent of the offender doesn’t matter one bit — it’s the perception of the offended that defines whether hijinks were a-goin’ on.
Those are two opposing goals.
Opposing. Mutually exclusive. Irreconcilable.
As in, you absolutely, positively, have to go without one of ’em. Because there really aren’t too many ways to more effectively make people feel uncomfortable, than to surround them with a bunch of strangers empowered to act as judge, jury and executioner upon their careers once the proper itch is ensconced between their ears.

Whittle’s post is fall-down funny. So is yours.
Where in the hell have you two been since 1990? None of this has been the least bit subtle, you know.
I mean, I’m glad that some of you younger guys are finally picking up on this, but…Duh.
