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.

On Warren Buffet and Bush's tax cut Warren Buffet has spoken out against the president's newest tax cut plan. When a highly successful bazillionare like this comes out against a tax cut, that sounds pretty bad.
Buffett did fail to mention one important fact. His Berkshire Hathaway shares don't pay dividends.
Hmm? Could it be that Mr. Buffett is afraid that if the tax cut on dividends passes, stocks that do pay dividends will become more valuable for producing tax-free income? Could it be that Mr. Buffett would rather not have to feel pressure to start paying a dividend?
Elvis Costello fans at ABC News.com I get "The Note" from the ABC News website, which is basically a good daily roundup of political news and especially political writing on the web. [Archives]
The got my attention today (May 27, 2003) with an interesting if obscure headline:
Well, If You Must, You Must A Girl Woke Up In a Naked Light and Said "Oh No Not Again"*
It took me seriously ten solid minutes of hunting to find where the asterisk and connected explanatory link were a couple of thousand words later, but I already knew. They were quoting Elvis Costello. They weren't just quoting Elvis, but from a verse of an obscure album track, "Sleep of the Just". That kind of thing gets my attention. Obsessive, who me?
Reading the note, I still cannot for the life of me figure out what the connection of these words of the king are to the content of the ABC page. My best theory is that the writer has had a good long weekend jamming on King of America, and just went with it. I can dig that.
It's probably just as good that they didn't continue with the next line, "He even looks like her brother in the army, but she never mentions him." That would just be taking them places they might not be able to get back from.
