Might, Sex, Money and Hamburger Stands

Making Blogging Pay over at The Nation has some of the same thrust I was making on Saturday about grabbing this whole left politics things by the balls and pulling hard. You have to PAY people to make powerful moves that actually work, no matter how much the left thinks this is stinky and bad. Money moves mountains. No group of volunteers ever moved a mountain.

It’s interesting to read stuff like Money is to Liberals as Sex is to Conservatives … if only to see that some of those netroots folks understand these things.

Just find your local Demo Burger stand at the county fair or wherever community-organized fundraiser food is sold. Compare the effectiveness of the Lions club or Kiwanis burger stand to the one run by the Left. You’ll quickly see what I’m talking about.

SiteMeter BOO!

I’ve decided to leave SiteMeter for the time being, unless they publicly announce that they’ve refused noxious spyware partnerships. I’ve heard of larger blog networks that depend on free SiteMeter service for stats threatening to leave as well.

Cf: NetWizard’s Blog: SiteMeter and Spyware (Sort of).
