Don’t worry. Pretty soon you’ll have to give, if I ever decide to get credentialed as a Journalist, so you may as well use this next week as a sort of trial run.
Thanks in advance!
Friday update: Not so hot, actually. Thanks to the 10 folks who’ve contributed this month.
Monday update: Tuesday will be the last day of the fundraiser. Thanks to all. I’ll be heading to SF and a few points south (central coast) later this week, so see that you keep the place clean in my absence. I hate coming home to used condoms and mirrors streaked with coke residue.
— Which reminds me: when you snort coke? It isn’t the same as snorting Coke™ .
Stupid wingnuts. Being hip just ain’t in the cards.
Tuesday update: Last day of the June fundraiser. I’ll send out thank you notes upon completion, then immediately board a plane to the west coast. It’s my 10-year anniversary on Thursday, so I’ll be gone from tomorrow until early next week. Thanks again!
Guess I’ll have to start keeping those Paypal receipts to get that cool $200 in Obama money.
Jeff —
It will be cheaper (for me, anyway) when you DO start a subscription model.
HA!
Who’s gonna credential you, Bub? You’re not Gauche enough to qualify as Bien-pensant
Heh. Well, this way I can keep everyone (mostly) happy. So long as I meet my minimum survival standard each month, it’s all good.
Dear Mr. Goldstein:
Welcome to the exciting world of government certified blog operation!
On behalf of the seven million members of the Barack Hussein Obama Ministry of Internet Freedom Maximimization, I want to thank you for submitting your application to become a certified blogger.
We can assure you that your application will be handled with the same care and deliberation that you’ve come to expect from all eighty-seven million hard-working government employees.
You will no doubt be thrilled to know that we have turned the credentialing process for the quasi-conservative side of the blogosphere over to the fine folks at the Immigration and Naturalization Service who have made emigrating to this country legally such a breeze.
After a 17 month background check, you’ll be ready to begin the process of becoming an Obama certified blogger. So get your keyboard ready!
This means that your credentials should be ready for you to begin reporting the news as a Democrat Party Certified Blog Operator (DPCP) some time within the next 50 years, assuming that your papers are in order.
Sincerely,
Fidel Castro
Minister of Social Justice
Give me a couple of weeks – just had my own car issues and went to NC to see the little bro over the holiday weekend.
Is it really a ‘lost weekend’ when you are with your brother’s kids (3 years 8 months, and 28 months) and down at the lake in his gated subdivision watching them and all of the little kids from your brother’s friends families’ (all officers at USSOCOM – none of the kids were in danger and it was fun to snap shots of my neices’ and stand in the water with a beer and just drink in the blue sky, warmth, nice breeze, etc.) and then you all go back to a house for grilling meat, snackfood, and loud conversation? And then you cut out to take the kids home, put them to bed, and watch war stuff until the wee hours of the morning?
When next pay period comes by (next Thursday) I’ll find something, Jeff.
Sorry about all that.
Lost Weekend.

I truly enjoy this site and will do what I can to keep it going. Thanks for all you do!
Um – considering the one day – chasing the kids about after two hours of sleep – it was almost a lost weekend.
But I wouldn’t trade it for all of the monkeys in the world!*
*Not ever having again to change planes at Atlanta? I’m thinking, I’m thinking…
Ha!! You will be working for ME comrade, as I will be the Commissar.
Would Pablo please post the “Real” Lost Weekend song. By you know who.
Thanks to geoffb, sdferr, Pablo, Lillian, Robert, Jerry, and Allen.
Thanks to Jer, Terry, and John.
See? Our ruling elite start bandying about threats of “Welfare for Journalists”, and instantly all the charitable contributions for Quality Citizen Jouralism dry up.
It’s almost as if there were some sort of innate, predictable, unchanging human nature or somethin’.
Keep it going man, hope it helps.
Did what I could. I hope it helps. You’re the best. BTW, your latest Corey Haim post had my wife laughing for days. Well done sir. Well done indeed.
Me? I’m holding out for the grand finale.
Rumor suggests a certain crustacean wannabe singing One Cingulata Sensation.
I think I’ll be able to contribute next week. My next job is looking imminent, around 75% there right now.
Now it will fall through for sure.
Sent you some scratch. You rock Jeff.

If anyone knows pdbuttons personally, I think you should check up on him.
And several of these posts should be deleted because decency calls for it.
pdbuttons rules
Scratch a button, discover a ‘zono.
i kinda apologize for whatever
I hit it. Hope it helps. (There should be a bell or something… )
A penny for your thoughts!
Just a little more than that, actually, but who knows what will be worth what when the bell tolls last?
I’ve never had 10 people give me money. That has to be worth something, right? I mean, emotionally. Not so much financially.
Have fun in Cali, Jeff.
Someone had better be looking after the armadillo, or you might need to send him away somewhere again.
I was trying to wait until the tenth when the credit card would flip over to the next month, and a new pay day would go by. However…I sent my contribution today.
And the ‘dillo? Sgt. Hulka is what is needed there. As in ‘kick your ass’ and also ‘smack down that commie trying to put an anti-tank round into you’. And then riding out of the former Czechoslovakia (Just like Wisconsin!) on the top of a Winnebago.
Dude, that is how to live life at its fullest and still have the good stories to tell your kids. Just after they are married. [And you are all having a quiet Thanksgiving weekend. And so you go off with the older men with a couple of lite beers under your belt and one in your hand. And then your uncle’s friend (who was in Merrill’s Marauders) lets loose a couple of things. And then you go completely sober for the rest of the night no matter how much you drink – you are sober.]
I rolled the dice and assumed I would get the job I think I’m getting, and kicked in now. Enjoy your trip.

Is pdbuttons friend or foe?
Friend, Ella.
And several of these posts should be deleted because decency calls for it.
you stop it
Do you & your family hike, Jeff? I recommend a walkabout on Mt. Tamalpais, outside SF, if your itinerary allows.
Jeff, I’ll donate as soon as I get my paypal account fixed. My bank was bought out, and they initially gave me the wrong routing number—Paypal no likey, sorry!
pdbuttons!!! Happy Bobby Orr!
We’ll be heading to Big Sur, TSI. We may hike a bit there. And we’ll also walk along the beach in Carmel. My son is staying here in Colorado with his Grandmom. This one is just for the wife and me.
Frank —
Thanks!
Carmel is an awesome, whacky, artists enclave; and a wonderful place to visit. I hope that y’all enjoy yourself.
Jeff G – I was stationed at The Presidio of Monterey. You have to stop by the Ventana Vineyards on the way to Big Sur. Have a glass of tea at the Rocky Pointe Cafe along the way. Watch the sunset at Asilomar Beach in Monterey. Have a beer at the Tap Room by the 18th green at Pebble Beach. Finally got around to donating.
FYI – John Madden’s house is right on the beach at the end of Ocean Ave in Carmel.
I looked at property there, JD. Didn’t have the 13 million for the house I wanted. I blame you all.
A worthy goal, nonetheless ;-) Sold Casa JD …
Congrats and have a great time, Jeff (and Mrs Goldstein of course!).
Yes, like Frank, I’ll be making a donation soon, once some things are fixed with my credit union…
Go visit the hot tubs at the Esalen Institute.
Free range hippies.
Natural hot spring water piped into tubs cantilevered over the pounding surf.
Sure the politics will get tedious, but sunset at the tubs is worth it.
Or go to Lucia and hit up the monks of New Cameldonea (there’s an old Cameldonea?) I may have that spelled wrong, but rent a trailer with a view for a week or two.
Lucia
uh boy
New Camaldoli Hermitage up the hill from Lucia Lodge
You want the place kept clean? Tell it to the ‘dillo, buddy. He’s the one that organized the pudding wrasslin’ last time. I didn’t do it, nobody saw me, you can’t prove anything.
When (if) I get gainfully employed again I promise I’ll send some monies. I would promise some other things but I learned my lesson with that armored rat.
I apologize profusely to pdbuttons and hf. honestly, i thought pd’s comments looked like they came from a troubled soul on the verge of doing something that can’t be undone.
sorry and carry on. i meant well.
