The Terrible Cost of Hunting Moonbats

Posted by Bill

You know, I typically pour my heart and soul into these moonbat posts just to attract the marvelous comments that inevitably pour in after a fresh post. After my latest moonbat oevre, four of the early comments seemed to really speak to me:

1. Read the whole thing out loud to the family in a Crocodile Dundee accent. I had to explain away some of Jeff's lines to the kids, but at least they got the moral of the story, which was: Stay away from moonbats, burritos and Jeff Goldstein.

Yes, that encapsulates today's lesson perfectly.

2. Laughing at the Moonbats...the most fun you can have with your clothes on that doesn't involve guns.

I agree 100 percent, though I've occassionally infiltrated the moonbat community naked ... with a sidearm.

3. That is the best thing I have ever seen.

Glad that I could provide a service. And perhaps most importantly ...

4. You must be in the secret RNC slush fund to afford this much bandwidth. Hillaryous, er, hilarious.

"Hillaryous?" Yes, certainly. But do I have access to a secret RNC slush fund? Alas, no. But that's where you can help!

Stalking moonbats is not easy, nor cheap. A typical excursion can incur the following expenses:

- Hemp fiber for the moonbat blind

- A day's pay for my loyal Ghurkan batman

- Batteries for the digital equipment (typically a whole pack)

- Several canisters of Bear Spray

- Patchouli, patchouli, patchouli

- Several clips of .45 caliber HydroShok ACP rounds

- 128 MB Memory Cards for my camera

- Con-doms *

- On a busy month, 70-80 GB of bandwith


* No, sicko; I hand out the condoms as part of a moonbat breeding prevention program.


Of course, these are merely the basics; this list fails to cover incidentals, like the 10+ man-hours, plane tickets to fly in my guest commentators, the inherent risk to life and limb and the inevitable years of therapy that will be required after such extended exposure to moonbats rutting and shrieking in the rain ...

So, what am I asking? Well I detest begging, and pledge drives can be painfully tacky, but ... I was doing some math, and ... if my average daily readership would donate .... a mere $1,000 apiece, I could effectively quit my job and concentrate on moonbat research full time ... forever. Just $1,000!

Think about it! Is this original INDC Coverage worth $1,000 to you?

INDC Journal Changes Lives


Not worth a measly grand to you? Another 6 months of similar high-quality entertainment isn't worth a mere $1,000? Can you imagine what I could pump out if I didn't have a real job as a distraction? Well ... follow your conscience. If you judge that I've somehow made your life a little brighter with my efforts, and you feel like hitting the PayPal "Make a Donation" button over there on the upper-right, your contribution will be greatly appreciated.

If I can get credentials to the Democratic National Convention, I'll apply the funds towards travel expenses. If not, I'll probably put it towards replacing my 8 year-old computer and finally buying photoshop.

Of course payment is not necessary; I'm truly grateful that people are reading and commenting on my stuff. The dirty secret is, I'd go out and do this stuff if I never make a red cent. It's hard work, but it's fun. Moonbats ... are in my blood.

Support moonbat research today! Thank you.


PS - The four people that have already spontaneously given to me over the course of the last 6 months are exempted from my bleg and will forever be enshrined in the "INDC Diamond Backers Club." Gordon, Neil, Marty and Alan: Truly Selfless Shining pillars of the Best That Humanity Has To Offer.

Comments

Thanks for linking to your earlier articles; I especially enjoyed reading the report on the "March for Women's Lives" from early May. (I prefer non-mocking political commentary when I can find it, and greatly appreciated your reasoned approach to such a "hot" issue).

I must confess, though, that my main purpose for writing this comment is not to debate the issue of abortion (though I would enjoy a reasoned debate on that issue), but rather to point out -- of all things -- a spelling mistake from a post adjacent to the "March for Women's Lives" report. Specifically, http://www.indcjournal.com/archives/000372.php has the title "Sewing the Seeds of Career Seppuku". I belive that should have been "sowing" -- sewing is what one does with a needle & thread, while sowing is what one does with seeds.

Sorry to take up your time with a nearly off-topic comment. So, how 'bout them political parties? :-)

Well, I switch it up between mocking and serious. And thanks for pointing out the error.

(And no big, but e-mail is a better forum than revealing to the rest of the world that I'm a complete dumb-ass fpr missssppelingg) :-)

Sorry; should have thought of E-mail. Somehow when I'm reading a blog I'm only in "post comments" mode rather than "E-mail the author" mode...

Posted by: Robin Munn at June 23, 2004 02:10 PM

Robin, sorry, had to delete the long abortion comment. I'm not getting started on that topic, especially during this thread, which is a light-hearted attempt to bleg some compensation. I'll repost it under the old abortion thread. (also, I'll read it)

Is it working yet??

Is what working?

You said, "Moonbats ... are in my blood."

Is that kinda like Peter Fonda?

Just asking.

As long as they are attached to a credit or bank account, I'm sure.

Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at June 24, 2004 12:08 PM

Fair enough, that's why I asked whether it was a topic you wanted to revive.
