Fundraising Week!

FUNDRAISING WEEK!....As you all probably know, the Washington Monthly is a nonprofit organization. Ad revenue only covers a small part of our expenses, which means that we depend on contributions from readers to keep this blog alive. So here's this week's pitch: if you like this blog and you like the Washington Monthly, please help us out. Ten bucks, twenty bucks, whatever you can afford. We're trying to raise $40,000 to cover the expense of maintaining the blog, and if we can get $10 from 10% of our readers, we'll get there.

Bonus incentive: Friday is my birthday. So think of your contribution as a birthday present!

Extra bonus incentive: On Monday night, our editor, Paul Glastris, will be on the Colbert Report. Tell him what you want him to do on the show, and if your contribution is big enough, maybe he'll do it! You never know.

Click on the cat-festooned thermometer on the right to go to our contribution page. Or just click here if you're not a cat person. You can donate via check, PayPal, or credit card. Your contribution helps us to keep doing what we're doing, so please help us out. We can't do it without you.
