We all have our favorite stops around the ‘sphere. One of the oldest and best progressive voices out there is Jeff Tiedrich’s Smirking Chimp, and while we don’t normally do this sort of thing, I’m asking everybody to pop over there today and, if you can, contribute to their fund drive. They’re talking a heavy beating financially, as are a lot of worthy online publishers these days, and if a lack of cash causes them to under we’ll all be the worse for it.

We live in a world where pillagers like the Kochs and Rupert Murdoch make sure that their twisted story gets told. Unfortunately there is a lot less big-time money available for those of us working to counter the noise machine. Rumors to the contrary notwithstanding, George Soros isn’t making us all rich.

So we have to pull together, take care of each other, and do all we can to assure the continuity of those operations aimed at keeping us informed and engaged. If you can find a few dollars for the Chimp today, they’d be grateful, and so would I.

Thanks.
