   I can commiserate with Iowahawk. I can’t count the number of times I’ve faced the heart wrenching dilema…post, or buy a handful of dried beans just to have something to quiet the rumbling in my belly.

   Yes, that’s the untold horror of the blogosphere.

   With my pictorials and an Instalink, my bandwith runs up around 80 Gigs … give Andrew Sullivan’s money to me!

   Actually, I think that the money diverted from Sullivan should go straight into the Bush-Cheney war chest …

   I thought I could generate some sympathy with my “Help me pay for my Massachusetts firearms license” link on my blog. No takers to-date. Oh well.

   Yeah, give the money to Bill.

   On second thought, buy Iowahawk some beer.

   No, wait….so many blogs, so little money!

   No need to give to everybody. Give to one blogger that isn’t Andrew Sullivan.

   It’s sad to have to acknowledge the prospect Andrew has run a con. Yet his ridiculous declaration that Kerry is an acceptable conservative–possibly a pitch to a new left-wing fund base, along with his simultaneous “need” for more money, gives me a lot of pause.

   Coincidence? Perhaps, but not likely. I have quit reading him since he engaged in what is at a minimum intellectual dishonesty.

   A serious suggestion for an alternative blegging:
   http://timworstall.typepad.com/timworstall/2004/07/anybody_but_sul.html
   All proceeds to “Riding for the Disabled”.
   A less serious suggestion, help us googlebomb some recyclers who we think cheated us out of $ 150 owed to the charity.
   A not serious at all suggestion, donate a little time to any good cause rather than money to an already rich journalist (no, not me, Sully).

   As Sullivan’s readership drops he may find it easier to switch to a blogger account, they’re free. He’ll also have to go out and get a real job, then he can blog on company time like the rest of us poor schlubs.

    I think that maybe Andrew Sullivan might actually think he needs the money for bandwidth… Look at this posting from his site:

    Then in Iraq, in the New York Times, we read the following about preparations for a new assembly:

    The biggest problem so far, organizers say, is that among the groups that want to take part, there has been an almost unmanageable number of candidates. In Kut, a Shiite city south of Baghdad, 1,248 people competed for 22 seats. In Najaf, a city considered sacred by Shiites because of its shrines, there were 920 candidates for 20 seats, prompting complaints from Mr. Sadr’s group and other leaders that the process was not inclusive or democratic enough.

    The Arab world not ready for democracy? When candidates outnumber seats by FOUR TO ONE (JC: capitalization mine)? This is a deeply encouraging sign - and it is Bush’s and Blair’s achievement as well.

    If he can’t deduce that he’s off by a factor of 10-15 here, maybe those math errors extend to his bandwidth budget.

    Sullivan isn’t the only one who has it bad. Arianna Huffington had to sell her ex-husband’s organs just to keep her wonderful blog afloat. I expect its only a matter of time before her underwear starts showing up on eBay, too. Desperate times, folks.

    Yep, I know the pain. I’m in the process of moving my blog off of blog[doink]spot and already it’s costing me $8.95! Anticipated costs may run to $20.00.

    Twenty. Whole. Dollars.

    I could die. Won’t you please help?

    Andrew obviously needs the cash. I put a Andrew Sullivan Pledge Week link on my site to help him out, even tho I’m kinda tired of him.

    So, has Andrew now made himself totally irrelevant? It was an intersesting last year watching him totally self-destruct on his blog - particularly when one started comparing his other writings to those in the blog.

    Kudos to Iowahawk - another bullseye.

    so andrew sullivan is trying to raise money to support his blog. so what? it may do you all some good to focus on issues that actually matter, instead of just shooting off spite in every possible direction.

    Andrew Sullivan is a classic example of an otherwise intelligent and fairly astute political observer who allows himself to become utterly and completely consumed by a single issue, in his case gay marriage. His pathological need to destroy the institution of marriage in this country has led him to develop a similar pathological hatred of President Bush, and that in turn has basically rendered him irrational on all other political topics.

    It’s too bad - a year ago he appeared to have a promising future. It has been almost painful to watch over the last year as he has devolved into utter and complete irrelevancy.

    I, too, used to be a devoted reader of Andrew Sullivan. I even contributed to one or two of his pledge drives. But no more.

    I stopped reading him regularly about six months ago, and almost never go there anymore. He’s gone completely ’round the bend on the gay marriage issue. Now he’s spinning contortions about how John Kerry is “more conservative” than Bush. Sad.

    Maybe we all can give contributions to Andrew in order to get him to STOP blogging!

    How long has Andy been a republican? Has Andy ever been a conservative? A real conservative, not someone who just knows the drill. The first time I visited Andy One Note’s site I made the decision that he wouldn’t be a bookmark. I expected to hear his song one day in the future, and here it is. One has to wonder with all the hatred against Bush, are there any sleepers?
