Give the Gift of Digby

Digby is having and end of year fundraiser and as usual, eloquently explains why bloggers need contributions to keep on trucking.

Digby is an absolutely essential daily read for progressives. Please keep it going.

As I wrote two weeks ago, bloggers need Christmas heart too.

December likely is the month that bloggers must balance the ledger sheet and reassess their time commitment to blogging because of the financial drain. How many hours were spent blogging, how much money did it cost in lost income from the day job and how much did the blog make from blog ads and donations? When they do, the blogosphere runs the risk of losing them. We may be raving activists, but we live in the same capitalist world that you do.

So, as you're putting a little something in the pocket of your paperperson, housekeeper, doorman, shoe shiner, hairstylist, secretary, whomever.....think about the bloggers whose sites you read day after day either for enjoyment or enrichment, and make a note to add them to your gift list. If ever there was a month to do it, this is it.

To give to TalkLeft, go here or here.

But first, go give to Digby.

Update: Beautiful Horizons is four years old today. It's an excellent blog on Latin American affairs. He has a tip jar too. I'm sure a few dollars (and clicks) would be appreciated.

Update: Buzzflash is also having a funds drive.

    is the best writer in blogdom, IMO, providing sharpness, wisdom, and clarity.  I've been reading her since she was a commenter at Atrios' blog.

    Decided that Tucker Carlson must be given a TV show at all costs (seriously, he's got a new gig on MSNBC, zombie wingnuttery strikes again) and Digby must not?

    Okay, there's a bit more to it than that, but just think about how much better the world could be if there were a functional progressive movement and an actual liberal media.
