I gave serious thought to holding off on this thing until, say, September 7 — then claiming the timing was, like, totally a coincidence — but in the end, I figured I don’t much care if either Jay Carney or Jon Huntsman comes to my defense.
Besides, who really wants to share the stage with far right zealots, anyway. Not me, that’s for sure. Might get some of that old time religion all over my new Quoddy chukkas. And that shit stains.

Labor Day update: about half way home. Thanks all.
Oh, and a tip: easiest way I’ve found to get old time religion out of the leather uppers of hand-sewn Quoddy chukkas? Lemon juice and a little bit of soft soap.

Wednesday update: Still about half way home. Will leave this post up through tomorrow.
Times are tough all over. I blame racist job killers everywhere.
Thanks, geoff b!

Hey, Jeff, why don’t you do what Bill Quick did and set up a Paypal recurring payment aka subscription button?
I’ll look into it, SDN. I’m a technological doofus, though.

Need brakes and new control arms. It’ll have to be October unless something I’m not expecting happens.
If I find out you’re spending all this money on Jergens and Kleenex so you can fap to Speed all day, I’ll be pissed.

Jeff, it’s not that hard to put up a subscription button, although lord knows, PayPal doesn’t make it easy to figure out.
I used these instructions:

Took me ten minutes or so. If you have problems, drop me a mail.
Thanks, Bill. Will look into it.

Thanks, Squid!
Okay, I’ve redistributed some of my income in your direction.
Who says collectivism is always bad?
(Reading this blog seems to be having a strange effect on my sense of humor…)
Thanks, Sarah R!
Thanks, Mueller! And thanks, Bill S!
Thanks, Thomas D!
Thanks, Thomas B!
So is there an option where I can pay more to have the cretincritter banned from the Palin threads?
You link a heartbreakingly beautiful essay from the most exciting, intelligent, and gutsy conservative on the planet, speaking out against one of the most infuriating things to have happened in the past week, something directly linked to President Obama, on which the president refuses to comment, an uplifting statement that makes me want to stand up and cheer, giving me optimism again for this great country.
The post gets over 200 comments. And most of them are disgusting gutter language and totally inane bullshit.
Maybe you should just close the comments when you link Palin.
You are a great writer. It’s a really fun comment community. Nonsense is fine much of the time. But this incredibly disrespectful bullshit about a thinker that, forget me, YOU highly respect, seems completely out of place.
Thanks, Don H!
Sarah,
I’m sure Jeff is too gracious a host to ever make an offer like “pledge $100 today to have the demented hamster taken to the vet,” but a pledge drive to raise money for “psychological treatment of the demented hamster’s mommy issues, cupcake abuse, and pathetic drive to get into the organic hemp pants of patchouli chicks” could be described as charity, which is never ungracious.
Just sayin’, is all.
You make an excellent point, Squid.
I’m tossing in a few more bucks for the charity fund.
Thanks agains, Sarah R!
Thanks, Weslee!
Thanks, JD!
