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.

Prosecutor Wants To Interrogate Rush Limbaugh's Doctors Florida Assistant State Attorney James Martz has asked Circuit Judge David Crow to allow him to interrogate Rush Limbaugh's doctors regarding his medical records. STORY
The state has filed no charges against Limbaugh, but suspect him of "doctor shopping," or looking for multiple doctors to give him simultaneous prescriptions of pain pills for personal use. They have been pursuing him for two years now.
It seems that the prosecutor doesn't think that doctor/patient privilege should apply here, on grounds that they're trying to prove a crime against Limbaugh.
Now, my people are from Kentucky, so I may be a little slow on the uptake. However, it seems like that when the government's trying to prove a crime against you would be just exactly the time when a doctor/patient privilege would be relevant. I mean, is this confidentiality only protected vis a vis crap that nobody cares about? If it's something important, see, then screw all that doctor/patient confidentiality.
When they get down to interrogating your doctors- especially over petty charges of personal drug usage- then you're getting pretty far along towards a police state. Even good liberals who despise Limbaugh should be very unhappy with this.
