I wouldn't want to ask people to just give me money cause they like my website, but do please take a quick look at Barger's Boutique. You might find yourself a little something-something for 2 or 3 bucks that you just can't resist! Any of the round images you find around MoreThings will get you to an Amazon page to buy my stuff and help ol' Al keep the lights on.

To explicitly state the obvious, these external links go to interesting and provocative websites, but they speak for themselves. I don't necessarily agree with anything they say - especially that no-goodnik Richard Marcus.

Emmy notes Michael Chiklis rocks! High point: Michael Chiklis took home the Emmy Sunday night for lead actor in a drama for his role as Vic Mackey on The Shield. He more than deserved this award. This guy just about burns a hole through the screen. The show should have gotten a writing award too. The whole cast is great, but it's all in the writing. This has the best writing going in television at this point. A couple more seasons as good as the first, and this may come to be considered the greatest cop show of all time.
The writing award in a drama for 24 was really outstanding as well. If it didn't go to The Shield, this was definitely the best entry. It's unfortunate that Kiefer Sutherland couldn't get a best actor in a drama award as well, but Chiklis is a machine.
Cool people were also pleased to see the comedy writing award for The Bernie Mac Show. They was robbed of their proper award for best comedy [if we're excluding South Park and other animated shows] by the bland, flavorless mediocrity of Friends, though.
The real, true annoyance, however, came from the multiple awards for Everybody Loves Raymond. No they don't. The show doesn't rate much analysis, but in short it may qualify as the absolute worst show with anything near these ratings in the history of the medium. Even the godforsaken realm of Full House was more watchable. At least the damned Olsen twins were cute.
Raymond, however, is just pathetic. He's one of the worst little spineless pussy whipped girly men ever on the tube. It's nothing but whining and sniveling from one end to the other. Could someone explain the appeal of this show to me?
