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.

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.

Pat Robertson advocates assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez On the 700 Club Monday, Pat Robertson appeared to be advocating the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who has become known as one of President Bush's harshest critics. AP STORY
Among other things, Chavez has been known to accuse the US of trying assassinate him or topple his government. This led Rev Robertson to speculate:
"You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it," Robertson said. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war."
On the one hand, Pat Robertson's out of his tree- which is why you have to love him. I mean, this is riDONKulous, m'kay? A big important prominent leader like Pat Robertson can't be going on tv to call for the assassination of foreign leaders. He's going to create like, ya know, an international incident or something here.
On the other hand, might there not be merit in the idea? The US government might not want to be out just openly whacking any schmuck that crosses our path. At least, though, we've got John Bolton at the UN now to smooth things over if such a scenario becomes necessary.
All I'm saying is that Chavez does appear to be pretty much of an all round dickweed, and there have been worse wastes of ammo.
"We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability," Robertson said.
"We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."
It scares me when Pat Robertson starts to sound even half reasonable. Perhaps I need to up my meds.
