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...
My birthday is coming up awfully quick, and everybody wants to know what I want. Well, in response to the millions upon millions of e-mails, I’ve decided the best thing to post is this video, which will probably make you giggle. Really giggle. Like a man. Not in a “Oh isn’t that ridiculous” kind of a way, but with some oohs and aahs.
This year, it’s the fastest production automobile in the world. I get the distinct impression the fellow is yelling to be decently heard, putting much more effort into his projection than you can actually see. Most folks who’ve been to a boat race or an auto race, know what a thousand horsepower sounds like from about 500 feet away, this guy’s sharing a tiny compartment with the same thing.
Four turbochargers, 488 cubic inches, a gallon of fuel per minute. Amazing.

I love and miss “Top Gear.” My cable company doesn’t carry The Speed Channel, which is where I used to watch TG, back in the day (read as: at the ex-girlfriend’s place, on satellite TeeVee).
Re: actually owning a Veyron… Aside from the facts I couldn’t afford to (a) insure it and (b) pay for maintenance, I’d more than likely lose my license. There are just too many deserted roads here in New Mexico to resist “stretching its legs,” so to speak.

A hundred fifty-five miles using only 25% of the power on tap. I haven’t had a speeding ticket in eighteen years, but in the same situation I’d probably be at the same courthouse, in line with you, if not in & out a day or two sooner.
