When Trippi said the Internet was the next hub of political fundraising, he wasn't kidding.

We have already received nearly $25,000 in pledges for our little grass-roots campaign, which I find particularly exciting because we don't have a little grass-roots campaign. You, reading this, or watching the show, have started it for us.

You too want to save The Tapes.

To say I have been surprised by the response is to understate it. Hundreds of e-mails (not surprising: y'all write more than I do, and I write 5,000 words a day), and dozens of them pledging contributions to the bid to Ms. Mackris. Everything from two cents to a thousand bucks. Somebody sent in a PayPal form.

3. top ten for sure on the billboard 100

Andrea Mackris should take other offers besides the 4 million buyout for Bill O'Reilly's phone shannanigans. larry flint should get involved, if only to make Faux News pay more.

4. Does anyone seriously doubt that it the tapes are

destroyed, whatever deal he makes, O'Reilly will claim he never made the statements outlined in smokinggun.com? What tapes, there were no tapes...he'd never live up to his end of the bargain. He's a dishonorable piece of crap.
