If you buy your books from Amazon - go there through gregpalast.com

I just now got this email from Greg Palast. What an idea!
And if you're not on Palast's mailing list, get on it. He'll email you good stuff.
Keep this kicked for now...


If you were about to pop for Jim Hightower's new tome, or Al
Franken's, or Joe Conason's, or Michael Moore's DVD of Bowling for
Columbine -- and I hope you are -- then may I suggest you do so
through GregPalast.com.

We get a kickback from Amazon - typically 5-10% - for steering
bizness into their corporate coffers. (Remember, Amazon is a
non-profit organization, though that wasn't in their business
plan.)

With this book baksheesh we can parole Matt from the Swatch store
where he is serving time selling bracelets to the bored just so he
can volunteer at GregPalast.com getting the word out to you. Enough
5% backhanders from Amazon and we can spring Matt.

It's easy enough to do: just click on the Palast "store"
http://www.gregpalast.com/store.htm and click on any book. You
don't have to buy that one, you can shift to ANY book (or CD or
toaster oven) and we get our baksheesh. Why not put our store link
into your favorites?

This GregPalast.com web site costs a pretty penny - and its not
pretty what we have to do to keep it going. Putting Matt out on the
corner of 2d Avenue and 4th Street with a sign, "Will Blog for
Food" has produced nothing but half a bologne sandwich. Oddly, he's
still hungry.

By the way, don't just buy your books here. Once you click through
our site, ANYTHING you buy at Amazon, from Michael Moore's DVD to
inflatable love dolls, supports our work. And if anyone will buy
their Mercedes through us, Ina can get those Manolo Blahniks she's
had her eyes on. I don't know what Bush-a-rator is either, but if
you need it, buy it here.

So you can feed our starving webmeisters or you can delete this page.

1. DU does the same thing

(or used to, anyways)---when you clicked the Amazon.com banner at the top of DU's homepage, anything you bought gave a few cents to DU.

Let's not kick DU out of the mix. Greg Palast is a great guy and all that jazz, but let's not take food from one mouth to feed another...

Thanks

great idea. Will do.

2. We all do

Lots of us, anyway. I sell books for the commission on my blog, too, and as I currently unemployed I need the money more than Greg Palast does! I may not deserve it more, but I need it more! I bet DU needs it more, too!
