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.

A Ton of Cronkite’s Opinion
Two thousand pounds of Walter Cronkite’s opinion went sloshing around I-5 near my old stomping grounds of Everett, Washington, and got spilled.
It stunk to high heaven, according to nearby sources. Some of it sloshed over into the cab, oh what a glamorous job, and some of it spilled into the southbound lanes.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer has more.
If you think traffic stinks where you are, just be thankful you weren’t southbound Tuesday on Interstate 5.
About 2,000 pounds of treated human waste with the consistency of fresh cow manure spilled into freeway about 11 a.m. when the driver of a southbound tractor-trailer rig braked suddenly to avoid a stopped vehicle about 25 miles north of Seattle, Washington State Patrol investigators said.
The trailer had only a cloth top, and much of the waste sloshed over the truck cab and across a wide section of the road, patrol Sgt. Craig H. Johnson told The Herald of Everett.
“It stunk,” Johnson said.
It took until 4 p.m. — after the start of the evening commute — to finish vacuuming up the mucky waste, which was being hauled from a wastewater treatment plant on Fidalgo Island near Anacortes to be made into compost in Tenino, near Olympia.
You know how I would have worded the first sentence of that article? Instead of making reference to “if you think traffic stinks where you are,” I would have said something about “if you think you hate your job…”
