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.

Pride and Prejudice It seems hard to believe, but as recently as January 14, 1963 (within my lifetime, barely), George Wallace was sworn in as governor of Alabama, promising in the infamous words of his inaugaral address "segregation now; segregation tomorrow; segregation forever!"
As one particularly enjoyable bit of evidence of his failure, exactly nine years later, January 14, 1972 marked the premiere ofSanford and Sonon NBC. Already we were past any necessity of self-conscious civil rights posturing; it was just a show about a funny old dude who owned a little junkyard. Oh, and he was black. More significantly he was REDD FOXX- one of the funniest sumbitches to ever get in front of a camera.
These decades later, Redd Foxx is a beloved staple of tv reruns, and Wallace stands as a discredited symbol of petty evil southern segragationist politics- to the extent that he is remembered at all. Well duh. Who would you want to spend YOUR time with?
