Do you ever read columns by right-wing nutjobs and start bleeding from the eyeballs because you're just so damned mad? Yeah, me too. Thankfully, we have people like Leonard Pierce, who are willing
to jump in, wade neck deep in the foulest bullshit there is, and parse it all out with a sense of humor. This kind of effort allows you to happily guffaw your way through life, even if you are
bleeding from the eyeballs with rage.And after years of providing this valuable assault on right-wing crankcases on his own livejournal (ludickid), on Clown Central Station, and most recently on
Sadly, No, Leonard is taking the next step. In February, he'll be attending CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference. CPAC 2007 featured speeches by Dick Cheney, almost every Republican
running for president, and such prominent high-profile but as-yet unelected headcases as Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter. The agenda, as Leonard has stated it:"I want to go to CPAC next year. I
want to say something to Michelle Malkin that will make her tongue swell up. I want to get bets going on when Ann Coulter will say "faggot". I want to hear Fred Dalton Thompson talk about how he
will personally execute Muslim extremists. I want to listen to a live Musclehead Revolution podcast. I want to describe to Ben Shapiro what sex is like. I basically want to liveblog the whole
thing, and get drunk and rowdy with dumb-ass right-wing talking heads. And I want to do it on your dime."Yeah, that's right. Unfortunately, CPAC is for designed for rich people, the honorable Mr.
Pierce requires some help getting there. So, I'm plugging this for him, in hopes that you'll want to contribute, and join us in the cause of creating a small but hopefully noticeable thorn in the
side of the vast right-wing conspiracy circle-jerk.And for the record, just like PBS, there are fantastic prizes for those who donate. So please donate.Send Leonard to CPAC!
