I am proud to announce my new corporate sponsor, Bechtel
It is with great pleasure that I announce my partership with Bechtel. Bechtel is one of the world's premier engineering, construction, and project management companies. Given their impressive reputation, I am proud to enter a synergistic business relationship with them. In exchange for me letting them use their logo as my new avatar, I am being handsomely compensated.

I want to assure you however that this partnership will in no way influence the content of my posts. I shall continue to uphold my high standards for promoting the progressive agenda and supporting its strongest leaders like Joe Lieberman and Evan Bayh.

3. Well if the corporate sponsors are
Newman's Own, Burt's Bees, or Ben N Jerry's.. it's all good.

But Bechtel is a no-no. *g*

4. How about Kellogg, Brown, and Root?
They made a rather generous offer too.

9. The DLC is concerned about the potential for hemp being cultivated
with excessive THC levels. Since they are the clearest voice in the progressive movement, I think we should all take heed.

However inspired by your suggestion to promote our nation's fine agricultural sector, I've decided aid tobacco farmers and enter into a business partnership with Marlboro, and their logo shall now appear in my sigline.

11. They are very profitable organizations.
Hence they can afford to pay handsomely.

In return I'm more than happy to give them exposure at DU and spread news of the good work they do to help our communities.
