Ten Dollar Saturday
Explanation of Five Dollar Friday here. Follow who else is giving on twitter.
This week $10 goes to Marcy Wheeler for her years of relentless reading, as well as this joke. In order to encourage myself not to get behind with $5 Friday, I'm going to double the amount for every day I'm ever late. So if I'm 30 days late, I'll have to give someone $2.5 billion. Cross your fingers, Pomplamoose!
Firedoglake only has $28,000 to go on their $150,000 fundraiser for Marcy W., so if you want to donate to this extremely worthy cause go here.
CONFIDENTIAL TO RUPA: Thank you!

I will set aside the scrolls if you need them, but might I suggest a quick game of Bezique to calm your peasant nerves.
