We don't make it a habit of asking for money around here. I've only done it three times, once for the Silk Road Journey in 2003, once in request of sending Joshua Foust of The Registan to Afghanistan and now for the Mahablog. It's real simple, she's fighting to keep her house and healthcare and is one of the finest liberal bloggers out there (and she happens to be on my RSS feed too). So, if you have $10, $20, $30 extra bucks to spare, please help a fine blogger out.
