Today, the author of one of the best written and most popular political blogs posted a cry for help.
Well, all the joy I felt yesterday has evaporated in record time. Last night, Mr. Shakes and I got a notice that our property tax had been increased 100% on our matchbox of a house, and effectively immediately, our monthly payments would be increased by 20%. Then this morning, I got laid off. Wish we didn't have to, feel terrible, no money and all that.
Melissa, the well respected and creative moderator of
Shakespeare's Sister was laid off from her job today.
So, I'm pretty desperate at the moment, and although I hate to do this, I'm asking for donations. If you like Shakespeare's Sister and if you can afford to, I'd appreciate it if you could help out, because now this is the only job I've got.
OK Kossacks - we've got to help our girl. She's in trouble, and our blogging community would be poorer for her loss. Don't let it happen. If you are not familiar with her work - go there now. Her insights are funny, thought-provoking and right on the mark. Please do what you can. It would be a real shame to lose such a unique voice to the horrors of the Bush economy.
Thank You
