Pitch in for Digby

I am very, very partial to Chris, David, Natasha, Adam, Paul, and all the other great folks who write for Openleft. And there are many, many wonderful writers in the blogosphere. But now that the Air America contest has closed its voting, I can admit this to you: Digby is my all-time favorite blogger. (You didn't think an old political hack like me wasn't going to campaign for a free cruise ticket on a trip with Rachel Maddow, did you? Have you heard the old joke about the scorpion and the frog? I can't help it, it's what I do.)

She wrote yesterday that she needs some folks to pitch in. I'm sending money. I hope that all of you who have been so generous in giving to Openleft when we pitch you will be kind enough to give to Digby. She is one of the best writers there is writing on the issues and strategies we all care about, full of clarity and courage and wisdom and humor, and is just one of the most decent people I know. Our movement desperately needs her to keep writing fulltime. You can give by heading here.

i like the monthly subscription option (4.00 / 4)
it's something i'd suggest you all look into setting up too. the monthly amounts can be pretty small - i'm in for basically the price of 3 decent pints of beer - but it still adds up, and it's future income you can count on. and no blog has ever come with those darn subscription cards falling out of it like magazines. (yet.)

not everything worth doing is profitable. not everything profitable is worth doing.

I Love Digby (4.00 / 2)
But she's still no Billmon.  And so is nobody else.  And yet, I'll gladly contribute to her, but she's my all time second favorite blogger.

Digby's the best (4.00 / 3)
There are many, many fine bloggers among the netroots and at OpenLeft. Digby consistently stuns me with her acuity and her--in the face of outrageous rightist bullshit--equanimity.

(Mike, it's super of you to add on to her call for support.)
