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.

New CD Album Releases, 3-11-2009: George Strait, Jessie James Twang is, by my best estimate, the 756th album by George Strait. He's still going strong after something like 30 years. This is currently the #2 album at Billboard.
The eponymous debut album Jessie James makes her the instant presumed new diva. It would appear that she's after a slutty pseudo-country prefab guar-an-teed hit with songs written or co-written with some American Idol judge and people who write Carrie Underwood and Garth Brooks songs. Whatever.
