A Request for Help for One of Our Fellow Bloggers

Every now and then one of our fellow warriors in the blogosphere needs some help to keep the fight going. One of those is Findalis at Monkey in the Middle. As many of you know, blogging can be time-consuming and can take its toll personally and financially.

I am linking Findalis' web site posting asking for some help. Trust me it's a darn good website, and many of her postings are cross-posted by JBlog Israel Forum.

If you can, please send whatever you can. It will be much appreciated.

Another mooch.

I wouldn't even know how to tell people to donate to my site. It's not set up for that as far as I know.

Subsidize my statement of why I'm voting to re-elect President Obama!

(Nah--just give directly to the campaign.)

Not mooching but trying to raise funds to pay an electric bill that is too high.

100 degree weather, and a jump in rates is bad enough. But on a pension and out of work, makes it worse.

A Mooch doesn't look for work. I have and my last job lasted only 6 months. The economy is so bad that even Walmart isn't hiring.

But I don't force you to donate. Obama will soon.

The mooching comment is from the same one who looks forward to getting his Obamacare in 2014.

Unlike you Gary, I have studied the Kaiser Foundation web site, and I know what my premium will be.

The big difference for me is I can get medical care for the "negotiated" rates offered to insurance companies, rather than the artificially inflated rates which primarily serve as a negotiating position to bargain with said companies.

I prefer a high-deductible policy, to keep premiums low. It all has to be paid for. You apparently don't know that.

I doubt very much that Findalis's electric bill has double due to all the electrons that run through her blog. If she's running up a big air conditioning bill, so are a million others. How about a program to help them all? Oh, no, that sounds like "socialism."
