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 plaque will be changed. All the background info you need is behind the link.
Commenter MNice speaks for me:
For those who were awake when it happened, the 9/11 atrocities DID lead to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The whole world knew that the Taliban was sheltering Osama bin Laden and his co-conspirators, and were thus accessories after the fact in their war crimes. There were very strong indications that Saddam Hussein was also providing material support to al-Quaida and there was a high perceived risk that he would [provide] them with weapons of mass destruction. There was no question that Saddam was in violation of the terms of the 1991 cease-fire agreement, not once, but many times. 9/11 made it foolish to ignore that problem any longer, given what we knew at the time. The original plaque was historically correct. Senator Sanders is wrong for trying to obfuscate and obscure the facts.
Anthrax isn’t much discussed when we talk about possible connections between 9/11 and Iraq, or whether it was reasonable at the time to tie the two of ’em together. It should be:
…the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), one of the military labs that analyzed the Daschle anthrax [spores found in letter mailed to Tom Daschle, Senate Majority Leader at the time of the 2001 anthrax attacks], published an official newsletter stating that silica was a key aerosol enabling component of the Daschle anthrax. The AFIP lab deputy director, Florabel Mullick, said “This [silica] was a key component. Silica prevents the anthrax from aggregating, making it easier to aerosolize. Significantly, we noted the absence of aluminum with the silica. This combination had previously been found in anthrax produced by Iraq.”
Inconvenient truths. Don’t worry, they is no more.

For a moment, I thought maybe you meant Colonel Sanders, as in Kentucky Fried Chicken.
