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.

Literal stump speeches Rand save a sentimental schmuck from the holler such as me, but I just LOVE stuff like this little story. STORY HERE
Some humble citizen in West Virginia lost a nice tree in his front yard to a storm a few years ago. Now he's turned it into a platform, inviting neighbors to come make literal stump speeches to all who wish to gather round.
The difference such a thing is likely to make in the real world probably rates as approximately negligible, but the idea of this appeals to every little Mr Smith Goes to Washington bone in my body.
