Behold, a bleg. Our friend Phillip Anderson over at The Albany Project needs some help in getting to Denver's Democratic National Convention. The basic dynamic of blogging remains that bloggers are mired in abject poverty, in part because the same candidates and office-holders that court us so assiduously don't make that logical leap to buying an ad on our sites. Hint, hint.

That said, the blogging community rallied earlier this year to help send Robert Harding to Austin. I'd suggest that Phillip is quite deserving of the same effort to get to Denver. So, if you can spare some clams, please point your mouse to the widget immediately below. Thank you.
