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.

In Praise of Evan Bayh I'm not particularly a fan of Evan Bayh. Indeed, I was the Libertarian Party candidate running against Bayh's re-election in 2004. But in fairness, he's certainly nowhere near being the worst in the pack. I'm sure that I wouldn't be alone in saying that I'd feel a little better if this cautious and generally at least halfway sensible guy were veep instead of the idiotic Joe Biden.
But particularly, I believe in praise where it is due. To that end, I wish to extend sincere praise to Evan Bayh for this piece he wrote for the Wall Street Journal nicely but emphatically denouncing the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009. It's nice to see at least one Democratic senator showing at least some little idea of fiscal sanity.
For bonus points, Evan Bayh was one of only six Democrats to vote against budget earmarks for the PMA lobbying group today, under federal investigations for illegal money for Democrats.
