MOTHER JONES NEEDS YOUR HELP

Our fiscal year ends today, and we still need upwards of $60,000 in online donations to finish our budget at break-even, or as close as we possibly can. We’ve already cut $1 million in costs. We can't afford to come up short. And there’s more about why this is so urgent here, or in this primer about our nonprofit journalism and finances. Straight up: We can get there, but it's going to take more people who care enough about our journalism to be reading this blurb to pitch in and support it than normal. Please help if you can.

Mother Jones needs your help. Our fiscal year ends today, and we still need $60,000 in online donations to get to break-even, or a lot closer. We’ve already cut $1 million in costs. We can't afford to come up short. Learn more about why this is so urgent in “News Never Pays,” or about our finances and nonprofit operation here, and please support the journalism you get from us if you can right now. We need more help than normal.

It’ll be sad to see Spitzer go. Any one of his face fields (huh?) by themselves would be enough for anyone. Counterclockwise: A: His skull is the capitol dome; B: The nose is the car driving his “date” down to D.C.; C: His massive chin as a big piece of cheese; D: The large flapping ear: his poor, haggard (and probably lethal) wife. This is such a sad story. We caricaturists sometimes just have to force ourselves to deal with these things. We’re so misunderstood. Let me be. I’ll be all right.
