Let me paint you a picture...

This pledge week ends on Monday so please "give 'till it hurts so good".

If you are not persuaded by vegetable graphs, check here or here for more reasons why.

Mighty Corrente Thanks to those who have been recurring contributors since this summer and this week's new additions.

Giant Zucchini Thanks to generous one-time donors who help tide the hamsters over when the monthly donations fall short.

Don't make CD come after you...

By lambert on Fri, 01/18/2008 - 11:54pm

The server we've got is dedicated, can handle Drupal, which is a memory hog, can handle the big spikes we get when the A-listers notice us, has non-outsourced support from actual technicians who know what they're doing and don't just follow scripts, and a 100% network uptime Service Level Agreement. So, it's not as cheap as some others. But we are doing everything we can to make sure that Corrente is online and blogging at all times.

[x] Any (D) in the general. [ ] Any mullah-sucking billionaire-teabagging torture-loving pus-encrusted spawn of Cthulhu, bless his (R) heart.

First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win. -- Mahatma Gandhi

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
