February fundraiser begins today. Plus, bonus! It’s also my birthday! [sticky; newer posts will appear below; FRIDAY UPDATE; final update]

Which means I can take it easy, sit back, and watch the dough just roll on in. Like a Congressman. Or some “green energy” exec with ties to the Democrats. Or Alec Baldwin’s colorist.

Ah. Bliss.

Friday update: About half way home. Thanks to all who’ve contributed so far!

****
son of update: I’m going to leave the post here up top through tomorrow, then allow it drift into a deep sleep with the aid of a handful of Valium and a tumbler of vodka. From there, what happens is anyone’s guess — though I bet I know what Rick Santorum would say…

Thanks to all who’ve contributed thus far!

Happy birthday, Jeff. Guess I’ll have to choose between toasting your birthday with Scotch, and ponying up for another month.

Normally a no-brainer, but after yesterday’s Florida primary…

The ‘dillo got me something understated this year, believe it or not: a nice cake.
