Just in case you hadn't heard: we're having a pledge drive. The goal is to have a total of $100 in recurring contributions by Monday, July 23. Click here for details and to contribute. The funds will pay for server costs, currently $200/month. As a thank you gift we will give you a fancy mug a bumper sticker Progressive Pr0n.

Mighty Corrente Thanks to everyone who has donated so far. We're now (Saturday morning) at $75 in recurring monthly contributions and $35 in one-time donations. We're that close to reaching the goal and ending these annoying posts. With another $10 and a $15 recurring donation we'll be done (until the next pledge drive to raise the other $100). The one time donations will help feed the hamsters in case a recurring donor drops out in the future.
