This Carbon Based Life

I used to post on a website and nearly every day the owner would make an emergency apocalyptic pitch to save the website. We need $6,000 by Friday noon or they’re coming to take us away! They’re gonna break my legs and turn off the lights, and it all depends on You! If I get beat up, it’s going to be all your fault.

I don’t like asking for money, it feels unseemly. But I’m too old to paint houses and its, too hot outside to pan handle. I’m going to do this money or no. Writing is like heroin without the buzz. The addiction requires the fix whether I get off on it or not.

There are people out here pedaling gold coins, reverse mortgages and miracle cures for your dog. I’m proud say that my work stands taller than your average Internet huckster. I’m not working for anyone my opinions are mine and yours if you want them. That’s not to say that George Soros and I could come to an accommodation if he felt like sending me check. But isn’t that just with some Billionaires? You just can’t depend on a billionaire worth shucks.

Support Independent Journalism or whatever it is that I do. Proudly Partisan. Remember, “If you can’t think of anything nice to say about them. Go ahead and say it!” – Groucho Marx
