I signed up to American Spectator's website a while ago so that I could post a comment.
It was on one of their wonderful articles about how the heaving masses of the poor should all be grateful for rich people, because of economics.
You know, one of those insightful pieces about how pleased we should all be at just how rich some people are, in case we get rich like them one day, even as they work every hour God sends to prevent this from ever happening.
So I didn't realize, but I ended up on their mailing list, and looked what turned up this morning, from R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jnr. himself:
Dear Spectator reader,
As a reader and supporter of The American Spectator, I know you are a brilliant, erudite, witty individual with a vast appreciation for history, economics, and our founding principles.
Yes, I am hoping flattery will get me somewhere. You see, I am writing today with a real, tangible need. [...]
This week, we are launching a $25,000 fundraising campaign to upgrade Spectator.org.
Where will your money go?
* Redesigned Website will improve the readers' Spectator experience;
* New Server Hardware will guarantee accessibility under high traffic;
* Digital Publishing will increase readership by providing Spectator content to iPhone, iPad, Kindle, and Android devices.
I may not understand the mechanics of these things, but I understand the importance. I hope you do too.
In order to continue providing you with outstanding wit and wisdom on the web, we need your support.
You can help. Please donate $25, $50, $100, or even $1,000 by March 11th to upgrade Spectator.org. I promise you will see results in a few short months.
In Liberty,
R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.
