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.

New CD Album Releases, 3-10-2009: Chris Cornell, Attack of the American Idols- Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Hicks Chris Cornell (born Christopher John Boyle on July 20, 1964) has been a busy beaver in his career as a leader of Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple of the Dog - besides numerous solo albums and side projects. For all that, I remember one song, "Rusy Cage" and that is because of Johnny Cash singing it. This week, he puts out a joint called Scream.
Then there is the continuing attack on any decent standards of Geometry and Theology that is made up of every single person who has ever appeared on the damned American Idol show. If you're totally lacking in any interest in music, you might go find their albums. I'd tell you the names of the albums, but I don't care enough to scroll down the page to find them.
