		<description>&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE&lt;/strong&gt;

Wow!  One day into the pledge drive, and we&#039;re already over &lt;em&gt;halfway&lt;/em&gt; to our goal!

That&#039;s impressive, and I am overwhelmed by the quick response!

Just wanted to say thanks, while I update the thermometer graphic...

:-)

		<description>&lt;i&gt; I don&#039;t mind the ads ... they seem to be nicely targeted. &lt;/i&gt; 

Heheh, Liz. Right now they&#039;re not bad. During the election, I got a ton of them for NewsMax.

But perhaps this is Google taunting me ... :)

		<description>David -

Thanks for the generous pledge!

Stare deep into the eyes of the kittens... you are getting sleepy... you are reaching for your checkbook...

Heh.

No puppy-lovers here?  I thought that was a mighty bi-partisan (bi-petian?) drawing of Santa, myself, although the puppies-to-kittens ratio is higher than I would have liked.  Heh.

As Santa would say:

&quot;Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good... hey, wait, that&#039;s not a toy... let go of it!... dammit, come back here with my hat!!!&quot;

:-)

		<description>Heheheh. Nice photoshop work on the kitten hat, Chris! 

Many Christmas thanks for the excellent work this year as well. 

Your columns have been a favorite of mine since 2007 mainly because I don&#039;t believe you see much of what you do in the mainstream media. 

You see a lot of conflict and hyperbole in the MSM. But you have a unique knack for putting things in perspective and historical context and cutting through all the screaming and yelling. 

I use material I find here all the time in discussions with my friends- both conservative and liberal- so I put a high value on your column. 

This is why I&#039;ll continue to offer my match this year up to $300. Which Michale looks like he may push ... heheh.  

Thank you again and looking forward to more in 2013! 

-David

p.s. Must ... not ... gaze into eyes ... of kittens :)
