We’re getting the band back together dudes, at least for the next couple of months. Later this week I will recommense my reading of Atlas Shrugged in a pledge drive for Obama For America, a drive you can read more about here. The short rundown is in exchange for me torturing myself with Ayn Rand’s opus, and tweeting my reactions in real time, you promise to give money to President Obama’s reelection campaign. It really is that simple. Laugh at my pain on twitter, give money to Obama.

One problem that has occurred, though, is that in my absence, the previous post was over run with spam, and it will just take too much time and effort to clear it all out. So from here on out, NEW pledge members should make their pledges in THIS comment section. From now on, all comments from new commentators on this site will require moderation. Hopefully this will let us focus more on our pledges, and less on people telling me my weblog is great, and they agree with my revolutionary new ground breaking opinion about a video game only a handful of people ever played.

Until now, these are our current Pledges:

Mona– $3/chapter

Lori– $25/upon completion of book

Semishark– $.25/page

Cracked Pestle– $100.00/upon completion of book

Liberal Crone– $25.00/upon completion of book

MinxyShoes– $100.00/upon completion of book (50 if book not completed, but the reading DOES end in violence)

Stephanie– $.10/page

AsiangrrlMN– $50.00/upon completion of book (that’s TWICE I’ve had to google which bill Grant was on)

Zeebecca– $100.00/upon completion of book (70 if I at least get through the Galt soliloquy)

DrSkySkull– $25.00/upon completion of book

McMuffinofDoom– $25.00/upon completion of book

MyOwnPetard– Um… Good feelings? I think? Yes? We’ll take what we can get.

So, keep your eyes peeled to my twitter account this week for the revival of the Atlas Shrugged reading, and make your pledges in the comments section below. THANK YOU!
