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...
This year’s shamelessly swiped image is shamelessly swiped from over here. I thought it was the best-looking of the bunch. Even though it’s from last year…
[Update: I decided I just can’t stand having the wrong year in there like that, so I copped a modified version from over here.]
It bears repeating. On the list of things to be done When I Start Running This Place and become Dictator of the World Forever…Item #3 on the list says that within any given municipality, every single damn veteran therein gets Veteran’s Day off or else nobody does.
This is one of those things that, if Mork From Ork was living in your laundry room and he came asking you about it one day, you’d never be able to explain it. People who are not vets — get Veteran’s Day off. This guy I met down at the post office who is a vet — he has to work. How come that is?
There are no good answers. That’s because it’s one of those things we do that don’t make any sense.
Anyway. The day ahead beckons. Rant done.
Happy Veteran’s Day, veterans. We are the folks living in the fortress, you are the wall. You can exist without us, but we cannot exist without you. Thank you.

No argument here, Morgan. None at all (as I type this from my desk at work).

- tim | 11/11/2009 @ 12:10Heh. I had every Veterans Day off while I was serving and worked every single Veterans Day in my civilian career. Oh, well. I was keeping the world safe for General Motors for a great good part of those civilian years. It was worthwhile.
Thanks for your good wishes, Morgan.
