Dear Reader,

December is make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising. We have a $350,000 goal that we simply cannot afford to miss. And in "No Cute Headlines or Manipulative BS," we explain, as matter-of-fact as we can, how being a nonprofit means everything to us. Bottom line: Donations big and small make up 74 percent of our budget this year and are urgently needed this month, and all online gifts will be matched and go twice as far until we hit our goal. Please pitch in if you can right now.

December is make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and in "No Cute Headlines or Manipulative BS," we hope that giving it to you as matter-of-fact as we can will work to raise the $350,000 we need to raise this month. Donations make up 74 percent of our budget this year, and all online gifts will be matched and go twice as far until we hit our goal.

Hi folks. I want to interrupt your weekends for just a moment to bring you the greatest political advertisement of all time.

Better than this. Heck, better than this. And, uh, if you don’t know what is going on, google “Chuck Norris Facts.” Or go here. Oh, and FYI — The reason why we didn’t find WMDs in Iraq? Chuck Norris lives in Oklahoma.
