I hate to ask...

It's been awhile since we had a proper Bleg. The beer fund is depleted. There's nothing left in the till to waste on frivolous pursuits like hosting.

If you've got spare change, alms for the poor, or unneeded cash, please kick in.

There's no other site I know of like Rantburg. We've been here every day, rain or shine, sickness or health, terror or taxation, for fifteen years. The archive is there. Feel free to explore. It's the daily open source intel report.

We cover the news that's actually important. Kim Kardashian seldom makes an appearance. Okay, sometimes we have something about Justin Bieber's hair or a giant squid or midget wrestling. But it's not very often.

So the hat's being passed. Please kick in as much or more than you can afford.

Do it for the Children®.

#18  I'd better keep that one away from my wife. Goats is enough. We did pigs way back, then the neighbor decided to put his new swimming pool next to our hog pen, and, well, things went from there....

#17  Yup.

#16  I'm in.

I liked Phoebe Clayton. Dolly of Palo Pinto? Good grief! How can I keep up? Has Fred built an AI to write this stuff?

#15  Fred has written a bunch of books, DarthVader. He has a unique outlook and an unfussy style.

#12  Golly, you sound just like the cleaning woman who lives in the cellar. "Pay me money!" "I need food!" "Please, unlock the door!"
Here's mine!

#8  You just got some support via paypal from me. I may not comment as much as I used to, but I still come by for the news, the snark, and the insights.

Still miss Army First guy from KCNA though...

#7  And there are no pop ups or annoying car ads that just open up and run, like so many of the news sites we link to!

#6  I notice Paypal would allow me to do a monthly donation. I've always donated in modest lumps, but maybe tiny trickles would be better!
