[Note: Though I’ve collected several links, I’ve forgotten to post an EoWR for the past two Fridays. Since many of the links deserved attention I’ve decided to go ahead and pass these on.]

Nobody Here But Us Chickens If you’re the type of person who likes to have a chicken obey their every whim (and let’s be honest, who isn’t down with subservient poultry?), you'll want to check out this oddly amusing link.

Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up? Chris Suellentrop of Slate takes a look at the many ways people try to define the 'real" Jesus.

Overrated Andy For a long time now I’ve thought that Andrew Sullivan was highly overrated. His status as one of the most popular 'conservative" bloggers, though, made me wonder if I wasn’t simply misjudging him. After reading the assessment of Fraters Libertas blogger Saint Paul, I realize what it was that bothered me: Andy just isn’t much of a conservative.

Cheap Shot Owen from Southern Appeal has an amusing 'fake interview" with John Kerry. Sample line - Kerry: 'Being a veteran is akin to being Jesus."

New Blog Alert Jason Roberts’ new blog, Our Daily Thread, has two recent posts worth pointing out: The Apprentice and Affirmative Action and Safer to be a porn star than promiscuous

Dactylographic Monkey Praise I have to give some overdue praise to the boys over at Infinite Monkeys. They are genuinely great guys. They're the type of buddies I'd have if I actually had a life and spent time with other people rather than with my computer.

Brad and RobbL have long been two of my favorite bloggers. Both are smart, erudite, witty guys who never fail to impress me with their insight and humor. They’ve also been a great source of encouragement and support.

While I don’t know them as well, I’m also fond of Ben and David, two very sharp, very funny writers. Reading them is like reading Fraters Libertas -- only without the daily rants about the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

And then there’s Dr. Monkeystein. What can I say about the Doctor that hasn’t been said many times before at one of his probation hearings? I think that he’s either drunk or insane. Possibly both. He’s one strange monkey.

While they haven’t banged out the works of Shakespeare just yet, these monkeys always have something worth reading. You won’t find a better group of monkeys in the blogosphere so be sure to check them out.
