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.

Shallow, selfish schmuck: Afterthoughts on Hunter S Thompson Hunter Thompson was the kind of stuff you'd read as a thrill seeking college stoner. He was fun, but really pretty much empty calories as any kind of intellectual.
Thus, I hadn't given any particular consideration to him in 20 years. His suicide a few days ago, however, has brought him back into focus for a minute. I posted a simple obit a few days ago, and further down this page. Having stewed on it for a few days, I have rendered a more considered opinion. Perhaps not that surprisingly, as an older and more experienced reader, his literary worth tends to seem diminished.
