Truthout needs our help to stay afloat
 
This is a call for help.

Truthout is in danger of not meeting their budget goal, which is critical. They need to raise $17,000 more by the end of the day to continue bringing transformative ideas and in-depth reporting. They have been primarily funded by readers (many DUers) for 11 years.

Support the writers, editors and others who make Truthout's work possible. Any amount will have an immediate impact: Can you make a tax-deductible donation today?

http://truth-out.org/members/donate

I have been reading Truthout since it started as have many DUers. DUer Will Pitt is a regular contributor. This publication has provided us with some of the more reliable reporting over the years. As we stand at the brink of another war much like we did 11 years ago, Truthout stands with us ready to report and expose what the MSM ignores or lies about. They need our support now more than ever. And I think we need them.

I expect a DUmmy to chastise this poster for not using that stupid "sarcasm" thing.

Interesting. Drunken, unemployable Will Pitt had to give up his hovel in high-rent Boston and move his tattooed bride and child into cheaper digs way up in the syrup country, and "truthout" claims to be going broke.

Both the hopeless, crawling alcoholic Will Pitt and the "truthout" blog site depend for their financial lives on DUmmy Raven, Pitt's mother, who recently wallduded herself out of a cushy gig in Rindge, New Hampshire.

Maybe DUmmy Raven is looking at unnecessary drains on the Pitt family funds. The Pitt family has hardly earned a dime since its patriarch went to his reward nearly a half century ago.

They thought they were like Kennedys, but they were far from it. A couple generations of deadbeats, plus the effect of their messiah's economy, may have seriously drained the stash.

A few years ago and it was just $10 away from......something or other. Inflation under Obama has sure increased the cost of spreading shit. I suggest buying a used horse drawn manure spreader.

17 grand is quite a chunk of change!  Pretty tall order for a bunch of destitute DUmmies.  Is Will Pitt's "salary" part of that?

Truthout will always remind me of that article (it was posted in mind numbing stupidity), from a lunatic who said "Women aren't the only ones who get abortions, men get them too, so it's their issue as well."  She meant, among other things, transgendered men-to-women.  I don't think you get all the plumbing required to make a baby, just because you chop your dick off.  

Stupidest thing I've ever read.

Getting the truth out needn't be expensive, from either perspective.

In two hours, five posters said "done."  This was out of 13 responses, some of which could only afford a K&R.  One DUmmy, apropos of nothing, said:

What they really need to is make a threat,

"Give us $17,000.00 in donations or we will hire Nads as our ace reporter, and quote her stories all over DU! We're serious...We will pay her twice...heck 10 times what she is making now.
and bikini pics, Nads will be our Page 3 Girl....we'll post them in every DU thread!"

Otherwise, you can suck a wet fart outta my ass.
