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.

When first I ran into Salam's site, I naturally wondered as to the authenticity. This was the subject of my first post. I feel almost bad about that. It's reasonable and natural to ask, since he publishes pseudonymously, for obvious reasons- ie not wanting to be shot by Hussein's goons. He can't very well give out phone numbers and references, so it's natural that a reader might be skeptical for a minute. You have to wonder.
However, this sucks for Salam. He's already tending to being, uhm, a little moody, what with us getting ready to come a bombing. Plus, who knows what kind of crazy desperate crap Hussein will unleash when we come crashing in. So there he is, taking a pretty big risk in publishing at all, anxious to talk to the outside world- and here's some jackass from Indiana wondering if he's a CIA fake. Sorry about that, buddy.
I'm long since good and convinced of his verity- as is everyone else I know of who's spent more than five minutes on his site. The CIA has some smart folk on payroll, but they're not talented enough to create Salam. If someone had the talent to create Salam, they'd be a famous novelist or screenwriter, not a security agency drone.
Go visit his site. Drop him an email. Send him some love. He's going to need it.
