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...
The Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet was in official use until 1956. It’s the one that starts out “Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog” and if you’re watching a World War II era movie, they should be using that one. Which most of them are.
It’s been replaced by the NATO Phonetic Alphabet which starts out “Alfa Bravo Charlie Delta,” and nowadays military folks will snicker at you if you’re reading something over the phone with the letter “A” and you use the phonetic “Able.” That isn’t correct anymore.
Both phonetic alphabets pronounce the number 9 as “niner.” That sounds cool in any decade. I’m so glad my license plate number has two niners in it. Almost makes me wish I got pulled over more often.
