		<description>Mapping out a strategy for my contribution to the CW.com Holiday Fund Drive has been, admittedly, extremely difficult. The reasons for this are many and varied and, for the most part, well known.

So, I&#039;ve decided finally to keeps things simple:

I pledge $1 US Dollar for every Michale comment that doesn&#039;t focus only on the Republican-Democrat divide and that does provoke and contribute to an enlightened discussion of issues and solutions to the critical challenges of the day, or $150, whichever is higher. Ahem.

After a review of Michale&#039;s comments thus far (as of December 6th at 3pm in the eastern time zone) my count will begin with comments he makes after this post until just before the stroke of midnight on New Year&#039;s Day.</description>

		<description>And AWAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYy  we go......

:D

As always, I will donate 50cents for each comment I make between Thanksgiving and New Years Day..

So, keep them coming, people..  This can&#039;t happen in a vacuum...  :D

I did something different this year.. I actually went back and counted my comments from Thanksgiving til now..  I THOUGHT I was going to have to fudge a little to reach my standard &#039;50&#039; comments, but I actually exceeded that..

Bodes well for a great fundraiser!!  :D

		<description>Admit it... it was the kittens, wasn&#039;t it?

You awoke from a doze to the clatter of you putting your credit card back in your wallet, and wondered &quot;What exactly just happened?&quot; -- didn&#039;t you?

Heh.
