July fundraiser here at last! [sticky; new posts below; TUESDAY update; FINAL FRIDAY PUSH]

Come celebrate summer with protein wisdom, your very own Roman Candle of freedom and truth!

Because let’s face it, your money is better spent buoying up an extremist website with little or no influence on the public debate than it is on, say, churros or some stupid John Varvatos pima cotton 3-button henley with detail stitching. Am I right?

Of course I am.

****
Tuesday update: A bit more than half-way home. Thanks to all who’ve contributed. I’ll leave the post up through Friday, after which it will be recycled by the government to “create jobs” at a cost of only $240K per.

****
Friday update: Today is the last dying day of the July fundraiser. I’m about 3/4 of the way there for the month and limping home. Thanks to all who’ve contributed this month.

If ever your were thinking about contributing and need that last bit of incentive, let me just remind you all that it was me who coined the phrases “be there or be square” and “sit on it, Potsie” — and I was never fairly compensated.

You’re welcome.

    I’m cool with the “fidelity to the Constitution = Extremist” label.

    A quick announcement:

    That is all.

    I dunno, they say those churros are pretty darn good with that special hot chocolate.

    But I guess I’ll go for the protein.

    protein wisdom comments get results. Yesterday we discussed splitting California into Fruitloopistan and American California. As Dave in SoCal points out, today a Riverside County Supervisor proposed a secession plan similar to but much lamer than ours. That hack had the nerve to add in a no term limits plank.

    Assuming, of course, the teenage Barry Obama could count to four.

    Or hadn’t tried to smoke me first.

    Keep up the good work.

    ot some patterico news :

    Lee is again portraying me as gullibly accepting the views of people whose views (I assure you) I am not gullibly accepting. Neither am I publicly denouncing those people. I am taking in information. Lee used to understand that.

    Incidentally, I have not “banned” him but simply disabled his account to “no role on this blog.” He still has the ability to comment, although if he comes on here and misrepresents the nature of our private communications, or even discusses them, that may change. There is simply too much at stake to dick around.

    I do not want to be in a fight with Lee, but I strongly encourage him to stop spilling the private details of every conversation he has with people onto the Internet. There is a reason I feel I cannot talk to him any more, and why I consider it a huge mistake that I even tried last night.

    Damn, nr. I think that Patrick Frey person is more into Weinergate than was Weiner himself.

    But we already knew he was a dogged pursuer of chickenshit gimcrackery, and becomes easily obsessed. Stranahan should beware sudden appearances of Tolstoy…

    A public spat with another blogger?

    Color me astounded.

    It’s been pleasant around here without him. Let’s please keep it that way. Even if it means I’m persona non grata on the right.

    I’m sorry I haven’t been able to contribute over the last couple of months, but my finances are looking grim right now. My clients (nearly all of them, not just one, which makes me wonder if it’s industry-wide policy) have informed me that they have changed their payment schedule: they will no longer be paying 30 days after delivery, but after 60 days from now on… so I got a whole month with virtually zero income.

    Nice.

    We’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!

    Sorry for the whine, but when my clients decide to pay me, I’ll make it up to you.

    My stunning wife Tanya and I are going to see the Palin movie “The Undefeated” down in Highlands Ranch, CO, on Saturday, July 16 at 7:15 pm. But first we’re going to the Yabby Hut at 4pm to have some crawfish and steamed shrimp. Anyone wants to join us is welcome.

    I’ll try to get something out this week Jeff, next at the latest. Next time I’m sticking stamps I’ll remember you, is what I mean to say.

    You can thank me later.

    Molon Labe I think that is an excellent idea. I’ll work on a meetup for Orange CA.

    Spiny, I think we have the same clients! Or at least one in common… If his name is Matt. Do you know a guy named Matt? He owes me money.

    I got a job offer from my biggest client back in 2009. Taking that job is one of the best decisions I’ve made. My other work has dropped off almost 90%. It was hard enough going freelance in 2004 – 2008. I don’t know what I’d do now. Self-employed people can’t even get unemployment.

  54. Ella says:

    Jeff G, you’re welcome. It’s less than you deserve, certainly. But something is better than nothing…
