I was going to wait until tomorrow to put this up, but hell, it’s April Fool’s day. And some of you more religious types might view that as a sign.
Besides, a few donations have already come in (thanks, all!), and I wanted to start a thread so that I can thank people individually and publicly.
— And of course, because fundraisers are what Jews do.
update: Thanks to all who’ve contributed. About half-way home for the month.
Monday update: Final day! Thanks again, all.
Thanks, Blake!
Thanks, John J!
Thanks, Charles W!
Thanks, Smitty!
Thanks, Russ!
Thanks, cranky-d!
You’re welcome, Jeff.
I expect the sleep deprivation due to the new child will lead to some interesting posts.
“A brief conversation with a soiled diaper and a screeching infant…”
Thanks, John B!
Thanks, Bill S!
Now, Blake, you know that Jeff will be getting plenty of sleep: no worries when you’ve got a panzer-rat for a baby sitter, right?
Thanks, SDN!
Thanks, Silver Whistle!
I get paid Wed, boss (I’ll hit the paypal button then) … and next to my last day in Probation.
I earned a promotion and am on my way back to the DA office. :-)
Thanks, geoff B!

I don’t have a paypal acount anymore, I had to stop it. How can I throw Jeff a paltry amount?
I WIN. Between LC and I, I have more typos ever.
Jeff? Jews eat Palestinian babies and probably eat the remainfer of the ‘moil’ ( I know that’s a wrong spelling, you know what I mean)
My god, even when I look at it. I get it wrong
Thanks, Diana!
Thanks, Dale P!
Some Jews, Blitz. The rest of us, when we want to be bad, just put cheese or bacon on our burgers.
Thanks, Billy H!
Thanks, JDW!
Thanks, McGehee!
Thanks, Lisa K!
I am sorry that your wife has been punished with a baby. I would not want this to happen to either of my daughters, they might, after all, have a son who looked like me. I am instructing Congress to mug a random taxpayer and send the cash from his wallet to you so that you may purchase an effective means of birth control. I myself use a DVD copy of “Deep Inside Annie Sprinkle” I picked up at a truck stop while on the campaign trail. Remember, the campaign trail is where I gained most of my executive experience… it is also where I was introduced to the subtleties of using different types of socks. Since my youth, I have naturally gravitated to the basic, white, tube sock. But on that bus, far away from my trusty stash of crusty cotton two-bands from Sears, I was forced into the application of the realtree silk sock liners from Cabela’s favored by the earthy types out there who cling bitterly to their guns and fantastically smooth undergarments. I have since come to believe that forcing a Black man to spooge into a cotton tube reeks of racism and old-fashioned conservative elitism. I can only assume that is why these fantastic socks were made in such good camouflage. But now that the underprivileged have experienced, through me, blowing their load into the soft, soft titties of Annie Sprinkle without the inevitable resultant chafing, I expect Congress, and the courts, will do the right thing and uphold the individual mandate.
Thanks, Patrick C!
Thanks, Terry H!
Thanks, LMC!
Thanks, John H!
Thanks, mt_molehill!
Thanks, Fred W!
Thanks, Bob K!
Thanks, bh!
You are welcome Jeff! By the way, am I wrong to think that “space titties” would be an awesome PW nickname? Yes, I thought so too…
Thanks, Blitz!
Thanks, Mueller!
Thanks, di!
Thanks, William P!
Friggin’ Jews…what CAN’T they do? Imma gonna look up if they lived with the Mayans…Pretty sure it’s all their fault…
BTW Jeff: you really should update the rotating quote file one of these days. I’d warrant that a fair number of those blogs don’t even exist any longer — which admittedly plays up your site’s longevity (“still standing, bitches!”), but it’s hardly as if you’ve stopped making enemies in 2006…
Suggestions:
“fundamentally unserious”
whatever Moran originally said about ‘visigoths’ and/or being ‘unhelpful’
something nicely anti-semetic from that guy what looks like Butterbean’s younger brother
etc.
Yeah, if I could figure out how to do it I probably would. At least, I’d add to what’s already there.
Thanks, LYBD!
A little extra this time for the soon to be wee one.
Thanks, TRHein!
Thanks, RI Red!
Thanks, Joe S!
Thanks, Gabe E!
Thanks to Stephanie for the Last Starfighter Blu-ray!
Thanks, Jonah C!
Thanks, Lilian!
Jeff, I’m jealous; we only had the chance for one. I still miss Little League. Enjoy every minute and post when you can.
Jeff, you have mail.
Thanks, Danger Dave!
“The rest of us, when we want to be bad, just put cheese or bacon on our burgers.”
If you add both does the double negative make it good?
Cus, if lovin the bacon cheeseburger is wrong…
I’m thinking that “Marc Elliott” would the girliest possible name to give your new baby.
Thanks, Darth!
Thanks, Steve H!
Jeff, is the addy for your Amazon wish list current?
di —
Should be.
Good. I’ll be sending along a
letter bomblittle something in a bit.Rats. It looks like you can’t send something to someone’s Wish List addy unless it’s actually on their Wish List.
That’s not useful, Amazon. I will not submit to the dictatorship of the Wish List.
Thanks, Pablo!
Thanks, Evan C!
Thanks, Squid!
Indeed you can. Just put something from the list in your cart and delete it before you finalize the order.
Thanks, Darleen!
Indeed you can. Just put something from the list in your cart and delete it before you finalize the order.
Tried it. I started by putting a Wish List item in the cart, then putting non-list items in the cart.
If there’s only a Wish List item in the cart, Jeff’s addy shows up. If there’s even one non-Wish List item in the cart, the address does not show up. I did it while logged in to my account, while logged out; tried to get past the addy selection with the one Wish List item in the cart (then delete, then add), and it didn’t work.
Went to the Help forums and asked for advice and they told me what you said.
Nope. Amazon doesn’t want me to send unsolicited items to an anonymized addy. I can’t imagine what weirdness prompted them to change that policy.
I had that happen a while ago and just asked Jeff to add what I wanted to send to his wish list. Unless it is to be a surprise.
It does for me. Clearly, Amazon hates you.
Clearly, it does.
And it’s supposed to be a surprise.
Either that or Jeff would never in his right mind click Add to Cart for this item.
OK, I finally got off my duff and pitched in a couple of bucks. Jeff is worth it.
Thanks, LTC John!
I guess they implemented that control so that I can’t ship something large and unwieldy to Jeff’s house, forcing him to deal with the enormous, unwanted item on his doorstep.
*sigh*
So much for sending along 80 pallets of carburetors.
Thanks, zoyclem!
Funny watching a conversation going on while robot Jeff soldiers on launching the gratitude.
That’s some superior compartmentalization, right there;)
Jeff Goldstein; The thousand yard bloggier!
Made even more impressive after reading the friday news news.
Over seas we call it the Hurghada Hurries!
Just strap that laptop down to the latrine with some bungies and…
KEEP FIRING!!!
Thanks, Sam D!
Thanks, Sarah R!
I e-mailed Amazon through their Contact Us thing and they’re going to help place the order that way.
So, apparently there IS a bug in the system.
FOUND THE BUG!
The non-Wish List items are from third-party vendors, and Amazon won’t give them the addy unless the owner of the Wish List authorizes it.
¡Albricias!
I limited my search to Amazon-only and found stuff I could ship.
Thanks, RTO!
I hope that in the future there will be babyblogging.
Thanks, guins!
