Cajoling

With the 2005 Koufax Awards coming up, the fine folks at Wampum could use your spare wampum:

As of 10/18/05, they have raised 635 bucks from  30 contributors and need 1800 more to handle their hosting/bandwidth costs during the award cycle.  If you are unclear why they need so much, go here.

I personally dropped some coin when I posted my first appeal.  I'd love to give more, but I am quite literally tapped out for the first time since I got out of college.  Anyway, please help them if you can--these awards have become a fixture of the blogosphere and help many blogs, including this one, get more exposure than they would normally.  Let's support diverse liberal voices!

[Update: my senior philosophy thesis was about the evolution of language--how the literal becomes metaphor and then literal again as an idiomatic expression.  I am literally 'tapped out', but that phrase, of course, has a metaphoric origin.  And now my brain literally hurts.  I think.]
