Stick 'em Up

Hands in the air!



Yes, dear readers. It's time once again for the annual Stick 'em Up Campaign. For just two weeks in November I ask you to make donations to this blog. That's it. None of guilt trip inducing 'tin cup rattles' you get from other bloggers like the Dark Lord.



Fact is, I do this blog for free. Not only do I blog for free, but for all three of you who are totally addicted to whatever I write; I am now Twittering and doing Facebook and starting in Advent I'm going to be recording my homilies again, and putting them up as podcasts, and I aim to do some video casts if there is time.



So here on the blog--which is the home base if you like...I try to keep the usual blend of standing on my head with solid Catholic catechesis, pretty pictures, comment on things Anglican and American, Catholic devotional thoughts, bits of music, some personal stuff, leaden satire (to quote one of the world's greatest journalists--Damian Thompson) and WHO ELSE DOES THIS NOT EVEN MARK SHEA OR KATRINA OR THE ANCHORESS OR FR. Z??--a gallery of lovable, infuriating, brilliant, entertaining and stupid alter egos.



All this free of charge. Yep. Free. OK, I sell some books through it from time to time. However, have you noticed there are no ads? No annoying pop ups for dietary aids or any other embarrassing medical type products? Not even Google ads or Amazon ads or anything like that. I mean not even ads for Monks Coffee or statues of Santa Claus kneeling down before the baby Jesus!



So here's what I'm suggesting: a $25.00 donation from every reader. Now what does that work out to? Over a year?--Less than seven cents a day. That's right. Not even a dime a day. Not even one thin dime.



Just hit the 'Donate' button and grit your teeth and do it.



Thanks a million.[image error]
