It’s been a rough year. I almost had to shutter the Frog Pond at the end of the summer, but a lot of you came through with generous donations in September and saved the site. We’re still barely getting by, and we’d like to stick around at least through the presidential election next November. Recently, Geov Parrish rejoined front-page. And Steve M. of No More Mister Nice Blog has come on board. They’re really outstanding writers and they’re helping Steven D and me keep the site fresh with quality material and excellent conversations. I think it’s better to have a diversity of viewpoints rather than an echo chamber, and all of our front-pagers bring something original to the table. I hope you are enjoying it.
If you value what we do here, please consider making a contribution to the site during this holiday season. We really do depend on our readers to supplement the meager advertising revenue we get. The right has their think tanks and blanket radio coverage and the highest-rated cable news network. All we have is the shitty blogosphere, and half of it seems useless most of the time.
All contributions will be very appreciated. And I hope you and your families have an excellent end of the year, and hopefully some time off from work.
Happy Holidays!!
