Hey fellow Kossaks
So I've been posting my little political videos here on DailyKos now for about a month and I mentioned in an especially pathetic and emo diary a while ago, the positive response has been overwhelming.
A few people have made comments like 'Where's the tip jar?' - well, here's a chance to tip.
I'm trying to win a Webby award (the internet Oscars (r), more or less) for my Mike Huckabee's Message to Iowa - a video Kos himself called the best political video of 2007. After the jump, I'll explain how you can help but here's the video, just to remind you what I'm talking about...
So - the Webbys cost about $200 to enter. Whew! Whew for me, anyway.
I have had some offers for doing paid stuff with my videos but no checks have come through yet and right now, I'm honestly just totally broke. Behind-in-my-car-payment broke, not starving broke - but the $195 to enter the Webbys is out of my reach.
If you're interested in helping out - email me at Lee@Stranahan.com - if about a dozen people can put out $15, problem solved and I can get the entry in. And you'll get thanked by name if I win, of course. And I may hug you.
If you can't help financially, just say something nice or even think good thoughts. No shame either way. I sure couldn't help someone like me out right now- and this is sad, since I'm me.
Here's a few more of my recent videos, too...enjoy 'em.
And here's me on CNN - so you decide if you want to help with the much larger 'dental fund'.
Thanks again to everyone.
Also, because some people are snarky about what constitutes a proper diary as opposed to 'self promotional panhandling', I'll add some political content.
The political candidate I like is a lot better than the political candidate I don't like! In fact, if the one I don't like is elected...mark my words...lots of bad things will happen. This is obvious to smart people like me and the other people who like my candidate. You other idiots are big stupid idiots for liking who you like!
That's a solid paragraph...
