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.

- Oh, Happy Day! « ricketyclick | 05/25/2009 @ 14:20Your image says it all, Morgan. Today is a day of sadness and remembrance, yet it is also one of gratitude and pride. God rest them, the fallen.

What an amazing, powerful picture though. I can think of a lot of places where it should be installed. In the Oval Office. Perhaps right in the meeting room of the United Nations General Assembly. Wherever normally thoughtful folks are somehow inclined to forget about the depth of American sacrifice.
