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.
Links
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.

The Troubles The Irish troubles generally don't rate as my top concern- we've got our own troubles. However, just linking to this Onion-type Irish news satire site got a fellow blogger slammed hard enough from some loyalist idiot to spook her.
Anything that cheeses someone off this hard probably merits at least a quick look. The Portadown News seems to be taking shots both directions, such as their faux IRA announcement of a compensatory discount on cartons of cigarettes for families of their bombing victims.
I suspect that I for one am missing a lot, though. Reading some of the material, I get some idea of how ignorant I am of the history of their problems, and all the machinations of the current situation. The spoonful of humor sugar makes it easier to absorb some of what's going on, and how people are taking it. It's more palatable than dismal news reports, though it may be equivalent to getting US news from reading The Onion. At least it's funny.
