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.

The Passion of the Christ enters all-time top 10 The Passion of the Christ has just slipped by Forrest Gump and The Lion King to become the number 10 top grossing movie in US domestic box office history. It has grossed over $330 million dollars.
Some have suggested that this will be the biggest grossing movie ever, but that seems a bit ambitious. It's only a little over halfway to the $600 million domestic gross of Titanic.
Still, everyone expects a big Easter weekend coming up, and it should end up petering out around $400 million and fifth place. On the other hand, this movie has been pretty phenomenal, and may have surprises left. For example, it could be re-released annually for Easter runs, and make a new chunk of fresh box office annually- eventually surpassing Titanic.
Anyway you look at it though, this film has been a huge commercial phenomenon already.
Also, it has inspired the confessions of at least one arsonist and another murderer. It has also inspired millions of lesser sinners to re-dedicate themselves to their Christian faith.
Congratulations to Mel Gibson and all involved. Good Christian work AND good business.
