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.
