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.

Stupid or clever? Check out THIS ENTRY over at Little Green Footballs on yesterday's anti-war rally. He's got this Reuters photo of thousands of peace marchers behind a guy bearing a sign reading "PEACE IN OUR TIME."
Holy Jeebus. This was the infamous tagline of Neville Chamberlain's infamous September 30, 1939 statement announcing his agreement with Germany allowing them to get away with swallowing Czechoslovakia. It is perhaps the most infamous document of appeasement EVER.
This strikes me really curious. Is it possible that not just this guy holding the sign, but everyone around him is that stupid? Like not ONE of these people had any clue of the connotations of the phrase?
Is it possible that this guy was a patriot infiltrating the appeasers, constructing this sign as a bit of clever mockery? That would almost make more sense. It's something I might come up with on a clever day.
For example, I've thought a time or two about recruiting a nice conservative gal to show up at a pro-choice rally with a sign saying something like "IRRESPONSIBLE SLUTS FOR CHOICE." I have assumed that such an attempt would be nearly immediately sussed and suppressed, but maybe I overestimate.
What kind of slogan might you come up with to slip into one of these "peace"rallies, aka Hussein appeasement conventions? Holler back with your best shot.
