If you can spare five or ten bucks right now (or more!), a couple of people in what I think of as my blogging neighborhood could use help.
First, the Count – husband of the Countess, aka Trish Wilson – finds himself unexpectedly jobless. Trish is one of the leading debunkers of anti-feminist nonsense in all Blogistan, and has kept at it year after year. I’m a fan of her work. But right now Trish needs our help, to rescue her and her Count from a fate worse than death:
Anyone who can help us will forever be on our good side. Thanks so much if you’re able to throw some moulah our way. We really need it. Otherwise, we have to live with my mother, and listen to Christian radio, hear “Praise the Lord” when she finds a good parking space, and listen to The Cowsills on an old console record player. Please Don’t Let Us Have To Live Like That!!!!
The Countess and her Count have job prospects and future plans; but they’ve had the rug yanked out from under them, and they need help getting through the next little while. If you can, head on over and use the Paypal link at the top of The Countess’ page.
And then head over to Slant Truth and use the “help Vegankid & Friends” button on the upper right (you can also follow the links there to read more about the scary stuff Vegankid has been dealing with lately) to send VK exactly one dollar.
VeganKid is one of those “lynchpin people” you meet sometimes – people who just seem to naturally draw a network of people around them, and to turn that into something vital. You know, like George in “It’s a Wonderful Life” or someone like that. This is, of course, an excellent reason for me to nurture a burning hatred of VK, since I’ve never been anything like that.
Nonetheless, VeganKid has been sick, and one of VK’s housemates suffered a major, major traumatic burning (follow the links at Kevin’s place for details). As Kevin says, right now I’m sure VeganKid would appreciate some help. To be specific, a buck of help – the link automatically fills in the amount for one dollar, no more, no less. It would be really cool if a couple of hundred people PayPal’d a single dollar, don’t you think?.

Thanks so much for your help, Barry. We’re really in a fix right now. I’m worried about rent and electricity. We’re using my son’s cell phone for the time being. Our cell phones are turned off. They’ve been off for a couple of weeks.
My mother also thinks that Donnie and Marie Osmond, Christian soft rock, the New Christie Minstrels, and Mitch Miller are To Die For. I cringe at the idea of having to listen to that all day long. The Christian radio will kill me. The Count and I like techno and trance. That won’t go over well in a house where there are pictures of Jesus and my mother’s dog all over the house. I’ll go nuts in a day in that environment.
I”m scared, but I know we’ll pull through somehow. We’re just in a scorching bad spot right now.
Thanks for all your help.
