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.

Tom Ridge, duct tape, and Katrina The reprobates at Cold Fury have a good thought going about Tom Ridge and his famous "duct tape" comments. CLICK HERE In his job as Secretary of Homeland Security, he had suggested in the wake of 9/11 that citizens should put together short term survival kits with stuff to last them for a few days in case of terrorist attacks or natural disasters.
Ridge was widely ridiculed for these comments at the time. How much better would a lot of people have been in the wake of Katrina if they had followed this advice?
There just seem to be a lot of folks ready to be indignant at the suggestion that you should be prepared to fend for yourself in a crisis without the presence of the almighty savior government, even just for a couple of days.
I've got it: It's Dubya's fault for not having provided the citizens in advance with duct tape and ration kits. Damn him!
