I’m too exhausted to come up with a clever beg. If you like this place and find it useful, please donate. Running this thing takes up a lot of my time, and the only spending money I have, which I’ve been using lately to take anti-Zombie measures, comes from these fundraisers.
Thanks in advance.
Wednesday update: A little over half way home. Thanks to all who’ve contributed so far.
On a side note, it turns out that if they really are out to get you, it’s not paranoia. So some people are going to owe me an apology.
final update: Ok. Gonna let this ride through the first Sunday of the NFL season. I’d say I’m a little over 3/4 there, so thanks again to all who’ve contributed.
Thanks, Joe S.!
Thanks, Fred W!

Sorry it wasn’t more. My 2001 Impala died (My Bush car that replaced a Ford Contour which was my Clinton car). It turns out that $20K in the new car fund will only buy you a shitty little Obama car that pretends to be high tech. At least it has a great warranty. Yup. Security over liberty and performance. They sold me the modern equivalent of a pinto and made it look like something that escaped from Tron. It still runs like a compact with a a cheap automatic transmission though. I will say that the brakes are peppy. The more they tell me how good it is for the environment the more I want to see it spinning around upside down and on fire.
I kind of wish I’d got a Dodge Dart. Yeah it’s really a new-Neon from Fiat but it has 160 HP and a decent transmission unlike 148hp and the half second ‘shiftronic’ joke I got.
Not that I’m very good at donating frequently anyway. Anyway, all the best man. You got a cool rifle and I got the Mickey Mouse car of the early 21st century and I”m supposed to be grateful that at least it isn’t a smart car. Yet.
Thanks, palaeomerus!
Incidentally, I still drive a 93 Land Cruiser and a 94 Wrangler Sahara. Both of my cars are voter and military eligible, though neither can drink, officially.
But I was cool and got them some fake IDs.
I get a month of free Sirius XM radio. And a weird shark fin looking receiver thing on top of the car to pick it up. Apparently it’s $200 a year after the freebie is up. I dunno. I’m kind of happy with the whole AM/FM thing.
Sorry I’ve been away for awhile. Hubby was campaigning for sheriff (and won!) and I’ve been busy with his website, graphics, running the HQs, etc. Catching up, I realized you are now armed (and probably dangerous) so use the $$ for ammo, before it becomes nearly impossible to get it.
Thanks, Lili D!
And congrats to the hubby! Where is this?
We live in Bibb County, GA. He ran as a Democrat, won the primary without a run-off and his Republican opponent dropped out of the race a week later. Even though I am a Democrat (oh my!) I read your blog quite often. What does that mean, I wonder?
I seem to be busy all the sudden these days, but I’ll send you a Jackson soon.
Patience.
There’s still sane democrats out there?
It stretches credibility and optics all to hell, but I won’t scoff.
Thanks, bh!
Lilillian —
It means, I think, that I was right about “outlawism” back in 2008 or whenever. There are Dems who still believe in what this country was founded upon, and I used to be one of them, though I wasn’t particularly political at the time. And those Democrats aren’t terribly happy that the New Left has hijacked their party.
Either that, or it means you like my jokes. Which is also cool.
Anyway, congrats to your hubby. So long as a guy swears to uphold the law and do his duty without bias, his party really doesn’t matter to me.
Thanks, Jeff. I appreciate the well-wishes. And you’re right on both points.
My hubby will do a great job! All throughout the campaign people would comment to me that he is such a good man. My reply was “I wouldn’t be with him if he wasn’t.”
Thanks, Patrick C!
Thanks, Tim H!
Thanks, William P!
Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day. Me, I’m watching Terminator 2 with my oldest. Special Edition. I’d forgotten how good a movie it really is.
Thanks, Hugh!
Thanks, Pablo!
Thanks, dicentra!
It’s not paranoia; it’s situational awareness.
Thanks, Squid!
Sirius/XM has a channel called “125: Politics: Patriot” that has several conservative leaning talk shows on like Hannity, Levin, and Glenn Beck. So it’s like WOAI in San Antonio only it’s not free. It still has commercials though. I guess having genre based radio stations is nice. The comedy channels are mostly okay.
I can’t say I’m very amused by the likes of Howard Stern or Opie and Anthony. Tired isn’t even the word for their schtick. 1997 for ever! Bleah.
I’m not a fan of sports radio either.
There don’t seem to be any tech/car/gardening/science or other hobby related channels. No history lecture channels. No fiction reading, no radio drama, and no ‘book on tape’ channels. They do have “health” channels. FUN FUN FUN. Eat rice cakes. No wait just chew them up and spit them out. ATP is bad. Respiration leads to death. Can you freeze yourself in tube? Do that.
No wonder Sirius/XM was a flop.
Thanks, Joseph F!
Thanks. mt molehill!
Thanks, Russ E!
Thanks, Weslee!
Interestingly, when I was routinely linked, I had a far more diverse group of regular contributors. Out of sight, out of mind, I guess.
Just kinda sad to realize that a bunch of people went along consciously with my marginalization — all because they bought into a bunch of bullshit sold them by a very sad little cabal of butthurt men.
Thanks, Blake W!
Thanks, Ella!
I guess linking is the new water empire and clique-wide friendship is available by quarterly subscription and obeisance to a regulated agenda only.
I think it all went to pot when PJM started up and then contracted because it did not work as advertised. A shared sponsorship system because a directed patronage system and not many people noticed.
The citizen blogger paradigm has been replaced by the alt-media blogger paradigm.
Thanks, guins!
Thanks, RI Red!
I am guessing you said earlier today, “Thanks Peyton Manning!”
Thanks, John G!
There was a link today in the “Morning Jolt” for whatever it’s worth.
