A Moth Springs From Sullivan's Wallet
Andrew Sullivan remarks on an emailed fundraising message from our publisher:
I hope the AmSpec survives and prospers. But really: I'm sure that some on the far left would love the AmSpec to die and I can understand why fear and hysteria can drum up funds ... but who actually is proposing to use the power of government to shut down a website?
Blah blah blah. Let's focus on that first sentence. "I hope the AmSpec survives and prospers." Okay. I'm looking for your donation... it's gotta be in here somewhere... In case it's not, though, Andrew, the donate page is here. Or you can just link to us more often. Just sayin'.
