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.

On Ann Coulter and the John Edwards Faggot Massacre Oh no, Ann Coulter's really in trouble now! She made a joke at the conservative CPAC convention referring to John Edwards as a "faggot," which of course proves that she hates homosexuals and wishes them harm. In her own best defense, Coulter later said, "C'mon, it was a joke. I would never insult gays by suggesting that they are like John Edwards. That would be mean."
Wrote a story about it, yes I did. Read all about the JOHN EDWARDS FAGGOT MASSACRE. See all 8x10 color glossy photographs, complete with the circles and arrows and paragraphs on the back.
Here's a bonus bit of rightwing hand wringing from Albert Mohler, who declares, "So . . . why would Ann Coulter use that word? And, even more troubling to me, why would any in her audience laugh? There is nothing remotely funny about that word in any context."
Says who? Gay jokes are an absolute staple of comedy, and generally not even derisive. But Coulter's remark isn't really even a gay joke, actually. Still, it's good that there's someone who can tell me what's legitimately funny. *******************************
While we're at it, I just found this defense of Ann Coulter from a good feminist liberal name of Elspeth Reeve working at The New Republic. Read her Weenie Roast.
Googling Ms Reeve, I was not surprised at the ridiculously vicious and/or condescending responses full of Stalinist zeal she got from around the web against even a good liberal who might have just a small part of a grain of sympathy for Coulter. Here are a couple of them:
