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.

CNN becoming fair and balanced? Tonight marks the third time in a couple of months that CNN has had Steve Dasbach from the Libertarian Party on Crossfire.
This marks a noteworthy effort at having actual divergent points of view, with some idea being represented other than what should the government do to fix the supposed problem du jour. Tonight, for example, they were debating the USDA's officially recommended food pyramid. Rather than an argument over what the government should be telling us to eat, the libertarian was there to question what business it is of the government to be telling us what to eat in the first place.
Kudos, by the way, to my old buddy Dasbach. He represented us well yet again. He's turned into a better spokesman for the libertarian position than presidential candidate Harry Browne. Dasbach held his own nicely sitting opposite James Carville. Cheesy Democrat partisan though he may be, the Ragin' Cajun is bar none the best public representative going for their side. It may be performance much more than substance, but Carville is quite effective on television.
Meantime, if they keep bringing libertarians in, I'm liable to start thinking CNN is actually making some attempt at being fair and balanced.
