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.

Upstart? Of course you know, this means war Julius "Groucho" Marx was born October 2, 1890.
Was he the funniest SOB to ever make a movie? He has to be near the top of the list. Where Charlie Chaplin's tramp gave authority figures a lovable, gentle tweaking, Groucho and his brothers gave opponents of free thinking and free living a big fat boot in the ass.
Nobody but Groucho could have been Rufus T Firefly, the Freedonian dictator from Duck Soup, the funniest deconstruction of statecraft in movie history. Groucho gave him a joyous and destructive cynicism no other actor could have matched. Firefly is one of the great all-time movie villains.
He acted, cracked wise, sang and danced. The one and only Groucho Marx would have been 112 today. Slap on a greasepaint moustache, light up a smelly cigar, and look for some bureaucrat needing harassment.
Officious Cabinet Officer: Sir, you try my patience! Groucho: Don't mind if I do. You must come over and try mine sometime.
