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.

I voted for Pat Robertson Confession is good for the soul, so here goes: I voted for Pat Robertson for president.
Hold on, America. Don't ride me out of town on a rail like Homer Stokes just yet. Let me say a few words in my defense.
I take some pride in saying that I have never, ever voted for anybody named Bush, junior or senior. Thus, I took a Republican ballot during the 1988 primary, and voted for Pat Robertson against George Bush the elder.
Consider this then a small examination of voting strategy. Voting for Robertson was a vote to embarass Bush, whom I didn't like. A siting vice president having to struggle for the nomination against a televangelist would have been a good and well deserved embarassment, though Robertson ultimately just could not manage to put up much of a fight.
Still, I figured the whole Republican Party deserved to have this guy broke off up in them for even being in bed with this nutjob. They had it coming.
Plus, I knew it would be funny for many years to be able to say that I actually voted for Pat Robertson for President. Ha!
This was pretty much the same logic by which I called for a Democrat primary ballot in 2004 in order to vote for Al Sharpton.
I just like to support a man of the cloth where I can.
