Fake Stars, and Real Ones
You gotta hand it to Will Farrell, a comedian/actor who's made a career out of making a fool of himself. He's today's second most-blogged personality because of the weekend release of "Talladega Nights," a NASCAR movie in which Farrell plays the two-named Ricky Bobby. Bloggers seem to like it because it's funny...or not-so-funny, depending.
Trail-blazing Butcher
Today's burstiest blog person is Alaskan Susan Butcher, the first woman to win the Iditarod sled-dog race (and who won it four times during her life). She died at age 51 of cancer. "She was an icon, and the state (mourns) her passing," writes one fellow Alaskan. Another blogger praises Butcher's inspiration: "When I'm struggling along in a long run or ride, my heart pounding, and my mind considers quitting, I think of other things to clear my head and limbs of the discomfort. One of the things I think of is Susan Butcher and her dogs racing in the winter darkness with miles yet to go before they rest. I think I can keep going a bit further...Thank you Susan for your inspiration." The blogger at Dances with Leaves offer another touching tribute.
Ok, white guys CAN dance
Today's third most-cited link from YouTube.com is living proof that yes, men of Caucasian ancestry...even on treadmills...CAN dance.
