Chai to Obama

Now that I'm oompa-loompa free (a phrase I explain here), I can freely, in good conscience, give money to politicians. Just gave a multiple of chai to Obama's campaign through Balloon-Juice's page on ActBlue. Why this way?
  1. To Obama? for obvious reasons.

  2. With Actblue? Because they do good work for the Democratic party, across the board, allowing individuals in random locales to give to struggling "blue" campaigns all across the country.

  3. Giving Balloon-Juice credit? Because John Cole is a repentant republican who now hates Bush, wants a Democrat in '08, and is a sane supporter of Obama.
A number of the BJ readers give a few bucks to Obama whenever Hillary does something outrageous. It's a good - albeit expensive - minhag.
