This call for contributions goes out, lonely, into the vast empty wilderness of a once teeming cyberspace solar system drawn inextricably to the force of the protein wisdom sun. Such illumination! Such heat!
But then those stupid, jut-jawed aliens with the heads shaped like schlongs and acid for blood were set loose, and as a result, cyber space is a cold and “realist” wasteland, where John McCain now essentially runs the minority GOP Senate, an orange, leathery, cowardly lion-type creature weeps his way through the GOP-controlled House, and Paul Reiser corporate pragmatists care only about weaponizing the tactics of the acidic, soulless aliens that they pretend to wish to defeat, but really only hope to emulate.
Which you wouldn’t understand, racists and Mexican haters.
But a tiny light flickers still. And that light needs fuel to keep illuminating the dead space in which we now all live.
Thankfully, fuel can be had for some duckets here and there. If you’re so inclined. And if protein wisdom in any way still resembles the light that at one time shone so brightly.
— All of which is just a kinda roundabout way to say, “So. You feel like contribution this month or what?”
Thanks in advance!

Thursday update: Thanks to all who’ve contributed. I’ll leave this post up for the day, just in case anyone else is interested. Then it will go away, much like America’s status as a respected and feared benevolent Superpower.
Only without all the fanfare about it being historic.
‘Kay. S’done.
Also, while I’m here…teke-li-li!
Barky gets another corrupt appointee, thanks to McCain, Graham, Kirk, Ayotte, Collins, Murkowski:

Also, Reid takes the opportunity to spout the “NRA=gun manufacturers” lie.
To be honest, if the NRA sold a light-weight, modular, breakaway, over and under .22/.410 survival rifle/shotgun at a reasonable price, I’d buy it. I’ve always wanted one of those.
Yeah, they’re fun. A friend had one when we were kids — not a survival thingie, more of a “My First Gun”. That was back when manufacturers could sell stuff like that without risking a Million Moron March descending on company headquarters, and parents could give such things to their kids without risking an interview with Child Protective Services.
For some reason we never shot up a school. Just lucky, I guess.
We did take out quite a number of livestock-feed-stealing starlings, so I’m sure Gaia wept a tear or two.
Thanks, palaeomerus!

Just “Go Green” and the “Green” will flow in from offshore. Selling your soul is mandatory however.

Rick Moran:
Just so I have this straight…
Cruz doesn’t want to shut down the government he only wants to defund Obamacare by preventing funds for implementation via the CR. The CR won’t pass the Senate and Obama won’t sign if it defunds Obamacare. So the government will be shut down anyway despite Cruz not wanting to shut down the government even though he knows full well the result of denying Obamacare implementation funds to the CR will result in exactly what he says he doesnt want.
If he doesn’t want to shut down the government, why add the poison pill of Obamaare defunding? One must assume that his ultimate goal is a government shut down unless he’s dropped some acid and thinks a CR with Obamacare defunding is going to pass.
Glad we cleared that up…
But hey, he’s a Republican.
Oops, should have put that in the next post. My apologies.
Thanks, LMC!
Thanks, Pablo!
hey, I didn’t get a harumph

I didn’t mean to.

Thanks, William P, for the utterly awesome and terrifying bear traps.
They give the phrase “now get off my lawn” a whole new bite.
I was going to reply that, since I was a honorary Mexican, I could not possibly BE a racist for opposing amnesty.
But then that would put me in the White Hispanic sub-grouping, who are still racists.
Drat.
But the real question is was it all cissausage ? That is the real question right? Even if it sounds like insane bullshit… before you are adequately educated on the topic. I guess then you become transeducated because you didn’t start out that way? Umm…
Does that mean some of us dudes should dress up as ladies and think about our feminine side when we donate? For diversity? And to prove that we are nervous, easily shamed, gullible, wimpy, little sheepoids?
Thanks, Squid!
Thanks, William P, for the utterly awesome and terrifying bear traps.
I’d ask what in God’s name you’re planning to do with these bear traps, but I probably don’t want to know. It would seem to me that having a caught (and very, very angry) ‘bear’ in your back yard wouldn’t necessarily be a feature.
Well you’re going to be lonely a little while longer. Even though I got a decent raise last month I’m still making $10.00 less a week than I did 4 years ago.
And they don’t want want the sperm of a 60 year old man at the bank. Who knew Chase was so choosy.
Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam chides us…

Thanks, Arthur M!
Thanks, Kevin K!
Thanks, guins!
Jeff, I’m sorry. 300 for my grandkids camp this month, I just can’t…..feel guilty? but I can’t do it.
No worries, Blitz.
Thanks, Lillian!
Thanks, Daniel K!
Thanks, Darleen!
Tanner is doing much better today — he’s still a bit fussy, but mostly because I won’t spend the whole morning playing “give me daddy’s hat, then I’ll give it back to him, repeat, until at long last I need to poop” — so I’ll be back and posting later this morning (my time).
Post office seems to have lost a one of a kind item shipped to me with a value of maybe 5-6K. Sent signature confirmation. Lost somewhere between the Denver sort facility and the 20 mile drive up the road to my local post office delivery facility.
So I have to go fix that for them.
Back soon! Either with my package, or carrying the head of postal workers on the tip of a spear!
I dunno man. Nobody says “Going English Professor” or “Going Blogger”. You could be jumping into a real bad place. Better paint half your face blue so they know what’s up.
