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...
1. Don’t notice anything someone else hasn’t already noticed even if it becomes painfully obvious; and if you do notice it, don’t say anything.
2. Don’t look for ways to make anything better.
3. Accept all criticism, even when it makes absolutely no sense. Become less of what you are, until people decide you’re okay, even though they never will.
4. Even as you accept unreasonable criticism, avoid criticizing anything anybody else does, unless someone else is already criticizing it.
5. Be eager to contribute your energy but avoid contributing your judgment — don’t decide anything. Just be a beast of burden.
6. Don’t do anything that involves risk; before you become part of something, make sure it’ll succeed just as well without you as it would with you.
7. Don’t take yourself too seriously, in fact don’t take yourself seriously at all. Be the comedy relief.
8. Don’t do anything until you’re sure it will earn approval from others.
9. When choosing people to do things for you, favor the mediocre.
10. Avoid decisions; when forced to make one, side with the majority.
11. Learn by repeating what others have to say. Don’t validate anything; when you see authorities contradict each other, decide in favor of the ones you presume have power over you.
12. Eschew any form of confrontation — except, that is, for confronting people who aren’t following the eleven rules above.
14To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
— Revelation 3:14-16
