BradBlog Blogathon

[lala_rawraw]

Hey guys, this is for a good cause, come hang with me while I'm up and help generate some much needed support for the Bradblog.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The BradBlog's First Annual BLOGATHON is underway! A handful of faithful readers have liberated the Brad Blog and are now in control. As far as we know, nothing like this has ever been done before. So if we look like we don't know what we're doing, that's the basic idea! But we're not the only ones. Nobody knows what we're doing!!

We'll leave this stay-on-top item up-on-top for the whole BLOGATHON weekend, and we'll update it frequently throughout the event. So please check in here often to see what's new, what's coming up soon, and how to catch up on whatever you've missed!!

If it seems like we're trying to separate you from some of your money, yes! you're catching on! ;-) Why? Here's just one example: Studio time for The BRAD SHOW costs $500 per week. Brad sells some ads but they never cover his studio time. So he pays the difference out of his own pocket. Anyone wondering whether it's worth it should visit The BRAD SHOW page and listen to some interviews. Where else can you hear radio like that? And how else can he pay for it? Yes? Right! Now you're catching on! ;-)

Yes, we're begging -- a bit! -- but on the other hand, look at what we're bringing you this weekend:

1. yo, kids...

let's focus our attention (regardless of how we might feel right now) and help out a good cause, a place that has greatly contributed to election reform issues and such... let's show our appreciation by donating to Bradblog and/or by hanging out for moral support.

13. Brad could really use the support

Like all of us on the left, he's working hard to build something fantastic on no resources (while the right is amply funded by its pet billionaires.) The more you do for him, the more the benefits come back to all of us.
