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...
It could happen to you, you know.
“After a certain period of time I knew that I was in pretty big trouble because it was the weekend,” Nicholas White said Monday on ABC-TV’s “Good Morning America.”
:
White sued the managers of the midtown skycraper and the elevator maintenance company and won an undisclosed settlement.He was a production manager for Business Week when he left his office about 11 p.m. Friday for a cigarette break. According to the article, it was never determined exactly why the elevator stalled though there was talk of a voltage dip.

The strangest frickin’ thing is going on for me today… I can’t get ANY G*#!!$# +@ video to play on ANY blog I visit. Yet, I go out to Viral Videos and this elevator vid (#1 today, btw) plays perfectly. What’s up with THAT?
Back on point: I got stuck in a Commie elevator somewhere in the Heart of Darkness (Moscow) for three or four hours once upon a time. A friend of mine (co-worker, actually) and I spent only four hours in that damned thing, but it seemed like a frickin’ LIFETIME. Mostly because Commie elevators are Lilliputian in size compared to the Good Ol’ Americun elevators I’m used to. “Small” ain’t the half of it. Add in the fact that the danged thing was more than a bit “wobbly,” and you have all the required elements for terror. My friend’s initial reaction when the elevator came to an abrupt halt was to jump up and down, trying to dislodge the thing. and we were about 15 stories above the ground. He quit immediately…mostly in order to get ME to quit screaming “STOP THAT SHIT RIGHT NOW!” at him.
So. We were freed, eventually. Our hosts’ reaction? “Happens all the time. You’re lucky the service guys were in the building…” The Rooshians might be able to build world-class satellites, hydrogen bombs, and such, but elevators and other stuff we take for granted simply baffles them. Or so it seemed.
