I know Goldy is Still technically having a Fundraiser…

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 12/10/10, 8:39 pm

… but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that Shaun is also having one. His blog was one of the first I read when I started writing, and at some point I realized he had also been on the opposite side of my local district from me in our shared past. And while we’ll continue to disagree about some specifics, I’m glad he and I are on the same side when the primary or whatever other battle within the party is over. Shaun is a smart, engaging writer, and locally we’re blessed to have him around. He talks about issues relating to the part of suburbia where I grew up, and I don’t get that much even from other local blogs.

So, until we can figure out a better way than begging, local bloggers have to stick together. And writing a blog, especially one like Upper Left where there are several worthwhile posts a day, and it’s almost entirely Shaun (Darryl and I and a few others have done fill in, but it’s all Shaun on almost any given day) who also has a day job is no small accomplishment.

Money is tight here, and I didn’t give as much as I would have liked (my car recently died, and despite all my talk of biking, I still do need a car sometimes, so that was a large unexpected expense). But I hope some of you will pitch in, and all of you will read him. Even though if there’s a primary in North King County, he may well be on the wrong side of it.

    Thanks, Carl. It’s not easy laying my situation out on the line, but it’s made easier when I know it’s been recieved so well. I, too, hope that a few folks can chip in, and that lots will check into the blog regularly. Your words are as appreciated as you donation.

    By the way, I like to think that I might be on the “other,” rather than “wrong” side of an intra-party fight, but at the end of the day, I’m always proudly on the Democratic side.

    Thanks again!

    Wrong is probably the wrong word.

    I sent your friend a small donation. I reckon every little bit helps. I suppose I should send Goldy something now so that he’ll know that I still love him.

    Correction: Begging for money so he can remain unemployed and not work for a living.

    Claiming to have a fundraiser to get money from acolytes…but actually …

    Prediction:25K won’t be reached but Goldy will continue to “spout” or
    25K won’t be reached, but Goldy claims he got them so he won’t loose face…
