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.

Poor silly Geraldo Poor silly Geraldo Rivera has gotten himself in hot water again. There's some controversy about the specifics, but it looks like he's getting booted from Iraq by the US military or pulled voluntarily by Fox for saying too much during a live broadcast.
I have to say that maybe just this one time I feel a little bit bad for Geraldo.
I saw the live broadcast in question. His diagram consisted of two lines drawn in the sand, and maybe three dots. Here, here and here are the places where we've had a lot of resistance. We're cleaning 'em up, getting some reinforcements and getting ready to go on up to Baghdad.
To me this didn't seem real overly specific. Surely the Iraqis already knew where they had been bedeviling us.
Perhaps he did go over the line as to what he was allowed to say, though. Fox News has certainly been the most pro-administration network on this war, so I doubt they'd screw with Fox unless they thought there was a serious breach. Not knowing the exact instructions and agreements, I have no way to judge. If Geraldo screwed up, then he has to go.
However, even if he did screw up, it was in the direction of being just a little too gung-ho in his patriotic fervor. I find this pretty easy to forgive. He wasn't saying stupid crap TRYING to give aid and comfort to the enemy, like comrade Arnett.
