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.

Thank you, Israel On behalf of the civilized world, I thank the Israelis for finally killing the evil cleric Sheik Ahmed Yassin, founder, spiritual political and military leader of Hammas. The world is a little better for the extermination of this particular vermin.
Naturally, there are many who do not approve of this act of public hygiene. Besides those who just openly hate Israel, even some who at least claim to be against terrorism think this was a bad idea- though I fail to understand how someone could honestly think that killing terrorists is not the best, most direct way to fight terrorism.
I responded to one such person at Blogcritics who says that "it's a very short-sighted act, ruinous" thusly:
Absolutely any possible thing the Israelis do or don't do will be ruinous, causing Palestinians to want to kill them. If the Israelis said, "Hi, Palestinian neighbor, sure is nice weather today, huh? Would you like some ice cream?" the Palestinian would most likely respond, "DIE JEWISH SCUM" then blow them both up.
I appreciate that a lot of Israelis are weary to death of the struggle, and I respect the right of the Israelis to show as much forbearance as they wish. I would not propose to tell them how they HAVE to act.
However, in their place, Americans would have goddam destroyed these people years ago. What, they should let this guy Yassin sit there year after year personally sending suicide bombers to kill more Israelis?
If you kill enough of them bastards, the rest of them WILL take a hint. And if they don't, they can get roasted too. Remember, a dead terrorist can't hurt you. You got more people who want to kill us now? That's ok, we've got plenty of ammo.
It boggles my imagination what the Israelis are expected to tolerate. The Israelis have every right in the world to stop people from killing them- by any means necessary. They're right, and the Palestinians are wrong, at least 99.9%.
Screw Kofi Annan and any other jackass in the entire world who says they should just sit there and take this. How would (or should) Americans react if we whack Bin Laden and the rest of the world condemns US?
Despite great efforts over some years, nothing that the Israelis can do will convince the Palestinians to quit killing Israelis. In practice, the one thing that has halfway worked and minimized the killing of Israelis has been kicking ass, and killing as many of the specific perps as they can track down.
Short answer, Israelis = Good Guys. Palestinians mostly = Evil Death Cult
You may object that this description is not nice or that it is "racist." I will counter simply that it is ACCURATE, which I rate as a much more important value than niceness.
Some people absolutely DESERVE their oppression and misery. The Palestinian people have largely absolutely brought their current suffering on themselves. As long as they insist on killing, they should expect to be held down and have their evil leaders whacked.
