Some of you dear readers who might be frequent visitors to this shitty little blog, may have noticed the shiny new PayPal Donate button at the top of the right hand column of the blog.
Allow The Gadfly to explain.
First off -- rest assured that The Gadfly does not need your money to subsist. Even though his personal finances are probably just as much of a train wreck as any other harried American, he emphatically states that he is not, in any sense, staring into the abyss of economic destitution.
The Gadfly added the button there for anyone who is of the sincere belief that the time and effort that The Gadfly puts in to this shitty little blog, for whatever it is worth and for what he is attempting to do with it, is even marginally important, and might possibly be worth at least the cost of your daily Yum Yum donut and cup of coffee.
That is the sum totality of the motive - nothing more, nothing less.
The only promise that The Gadfly will make is that, with or without donations, he will continue to ferret out the stories worth posting about - and especially those stories where the opportunity exists to expose the right wing conservatives for the extremists and democracy haters that they are.
So go ahead, click and donate if it tickles your fancy (Hint: you do not need a PayPal account to do so - if using credit card - and if you want to sign up for a PayPal account, it's free).
Having said what he needed to say -- if you simply think that The Gadfly is just whoring his self out for weekend booze money, that's your prerogative, and quite frankly The Gadfly wouldn't blame you for thinking such a thing considering the amount of flim-flammery that permeates the intertoobz these days. Regardless, he hopes you at least keep coming back to visit and continue sharing the postings.
And that is about all that The Gadfly has to say on this sordid matter.
