Brewing an Inciteful Carnival
I'm a little embarrassed. That's because John Beck (who's hosting this week's Carnival of the Vanities at his super blog Incite) ranked my post way too highly -- giving me second billing only to Laurence Simon's Carnival of the Cats! (This week's Carnival of the Cats is hosted by the charmingly named Annoying Little Twerp -- The Annoying Little Psycho Girl Next Door. I note that her picture looks disturbingly like Coco's boyfriend Tristan.) Here's the justification John gave for assigning me such an undeservedly high ranking: ...unlike any other blogger featured here today, I know for a fact that Eric has good taste in German Brewhauses. Which, as far as I'm concerned, is an ideal criterion by which to judge a blogger.I'm flattered by the honor, but I think it's fair to point out that John also has equally good taste in German Brews. And good taste in Carnivals! After seeming to regret that the Carnival contains "fewer than 50 posts," he methodically, humorously goes through 48 -- without so much as a burp! (Which is fewer than the number of German brews he went through the other night, so I think John could have handled more!) Anyway, I don't have the responsibility to review all 48, but the following stood out as particularly flavorful: I realize that tastes in blog posts, like tastes in brews, will vary according to the individual drinker/reader, and so I seriously suggest you go directly to Incite, and drink to your heart's content! posted by Eric on 08.31.05 at 08:01 AM

Thanks much for the link and the compliment. Whenever I get bored I add another banner or two to the mix.

NPR pays more than the Nazi Party does today, so a Jew-hater should go there after he graduates. Ideologically, there's little difference.
