Thank you Skinner for a marvelous fund raising drive. Meanwhile.... 

...at the the insane asylum (quite mad you know) known as Jim Robinson's FreeRepublic the perpetual FleeceaFreep is close to entering its eighth week. At this rate they will lap their next round of shakedowns.

Hilarity here: http://www.freerepublic.com

And the pathetic results:

2009 Q2 FReepathon. Target: $80,000 Receipts & Pledges to-date: $69,256

86%

Woo hoo!! Less than $10.8k to go!! Way to go FReepers and Lurkers!! Thank you all very much!!

They're mocking Free Republic for stating clearly the amount of money raised and they praise Skinner for keeping their fundraiser's dollar amount a deep dark secret? Umm...okay.  :mental:

A pledge from a DUmmie is not worth much, I hope they collect.  :lmao:

I noticed the DUmp has started putting advertisements in their members posts, between posts, and at the top and bottom of every thread.

Still no ads at FreeRepublic, though.
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

Good point.

Also that freerepublic has higher goals for a fund-raiser than does Skins's island.

freerepublic's got nothing to be embarrassed about.

The primitives have their whole beings and lives to be embarrassed about.

The DUmp has maxed out their contributing membership and have leveled out.  They have the 5,000 or so that Bad Cat's DUmp Diver program has shown they have, but that's all they'll ever do.  For the most part, when one primitive leaves another will come onshore.  Skin's hope was to equal FR, but they won't come close.  I don't know what FR's active membership is, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's not at least double that of the DUmp.

Unless they are ads for free healthcare, they won't get any hits over there.
