Random Morsels

his week's Penguin Dope Slap goes to Eason Jordan, CNN news executive, for saying that American troops have been deliberately targeting journalists. Glenn Reynolds sums it up at his MSNBC site.

"Worst case: Jordan said things he knew were probably false, in order to curry favor with influential people from countries that -- as CNN's American audience falls -- represent an important part of its market.

"Best case: Jordan repeated rumors he had heard without knowing whether they were true or not."

"Which is it? It's hard to say."

Eason Jordan, take that!

Thanks to Dave Barry:

Some couples are simply meant to be with each other.

Some doctors should simply change their names.

Biology sure can be weird.

Here's some other blogs to check out:

PostSecret: Oh boy, is this a weird blog, but you can't stop looking. Poeple send in postcards to anonymously share a secret.

You've Got Style: And he does, especially when he starts a post with "Last week I put grammatical moves on my students; I touted the strength of active verbs. "

Common Sense and Wonder: a compatriot in the battle against world-wide attention deficits. Be sure to check out the Toons archive.

Shooting Parrots: A singular voice from the UK. "So why 'Shooting Parrots'? Well, primarily because it seems you need an odd title for this blogging mularkey."

And if you want a Lord of the Rings pic, painting, poster...

The Futility Closet: Lots of interesting tidbits.

Some blogs are just interesting for the glimpse you get into people and their world. Like Bow To Me. Check out the pictures in the archives.

In Blog We Trust. Yeah, I don't understand it either, but the pics are fascinating.

The Cranky Professor: They often are, aren't they?

Circa Bellum: A Southern perspective, with a wry sense of humor. "For entertainment purposes only. Trespassers will be violated. Violators will be persecuted. Please keep hands and feet inside the ride until we come to a complete stop.

And Humor Hangout--A humor column for readers with taste "Amusing (trust me on this one) essays on this and that. I don't dumb down. At least not until I see some money in doing so." Literate and refreshing.
