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.

Clarence Thomas OWES Maureen Dowd Goddam, but I'd like to get close enough to bring the pimp hand down on Maureen Dowd. From her column:
He [Clarence Thomas] knew that he could not make a powerful legal argument against racial preferences, given the fact that he got into Yale Law School and got picked for the Supreme Court thanks to his race.
Bitch absolutely thinks the liberals OWN every negro in the country. Any high level position comes with personal consideration. It would be impossible to get into Yale Law School much less the Supreme Court without anyone noticing that you're black. Because there is affirmative action, therefore every black person who has any high achievement has been someway around it, and therefore must support the continuation of the racist practice.
Of course, her necessary premise is that blacks are inferior. Black people only ever achieve anything because of the gracious help of white liberals such as herself who support affirmative action. Unless they can somehow pass for white and hide their African heritage, there is no possible way for a black person to achieve anything without being indebted to Maureen Dowd et al.
Black people OWE her and her liberal friends. She continued "maybe he is disgusted with his own great historic ingratitude." Justice Thomas should feel gratitude to Ms. Dowd. Oh, thank you, great caring white person.
Or to put it differently: Honk off, bitch. I don't owe you a damned thing.
I'll have Dick Gephardt's head on a platter, please "When I'm president, we'll do executive orders to overcome any wrong thing the Supreme Court does tomorrow or any other day." -Richard Gephardt, June 22, 2003
This pretty much calls for trashing the constitutional order, far worse than anything Geoge W Bush would ever think to try. Why aren't people calling for Gephardt's resignation from congress? This is really just AMAZINGLY atrocious, yet has caused barely a blip.
By the way, the context was that he was addressing a Jesse Jackson audience, promising to ignore any outcome in the Michigan affirmative action case that might have come out "wrong." The money quote here comes in the 45th minute of the C-Span video.
