Charity Blogfight! Alliances forming now!

No, no jello wrestling or bikinis involved. Sorry. This morning I posted about Spirit of America raising money to help the Marines create an television station in Iraq that will serve to dispense truth and dispel the lies of al Jazeera. Read it here. I dropped the hint that you should donate some money. Dean dropped the same hint to his readers. And a challenge was born. Before you read further, keep in mind that Dean and I came up with this "war" together as a fun way to help raise the money for the Marines. He's already thrown down the gauntlet. I accept the challenge. A Small Victory and the readers of this blog will - I have no doubt about that - raise more money for the Spirit of America cause than Dean's blog/readers. SOA is going to be setting something up so the tally for each blog will be easy to track. The battle will not start until Monday, so hold off your donations until then. That gives you about four full days to decide who you will align yourself with - "Howard" Dean Esmay or myself. Of course, I've already got one blog signed up on my side - The Command Post and it's posse of 20,000 or so readers. And I've got you. Right? I hope you know what the correct answer to that question is. So while the monetary tallies won't start until Monday, the blogging alliance tally begins now. If you want to join your blog and your bevy of readers up with mine (the winning side), link to this post, give the challenge a plug and leave a comment. If you don't have a blog but you want to join in, just sign your name in the comments. Remember, this is all for a good cause and the alliance/money challenge is just a way to entice you all into coughing up some bucks for the Marines and their tv station. More information will be forthcoming. If you have any questions, just send me an email. Dean - the hammer is down. I own you. dOOd-I pWn U! U r teh suck and I am teh haWt!!!!11!!!1! Update: You don't have to go with either of our alliances, you know. Feel free to form your own. The more bloggers involved, the more money for the cause!

Silent Running stands with the winning team - Michele, Alan, and TCP.

Any chance of pinup bikini photos to boost troop morale, anyway?

Hey, ya don't know unless you ask!

I saw you making eyes at Ace of Spades today.

I'm gonna have to give this one some thought.

I'm sorry Michele, I must side with my blogfather. "We will bury you."

d00d, u spelled pwn wr0ng. u will pwn cuz u r teh hawt.

I'm with you, no blog, but I'll do what ever I can do for you!

Hmmm. I may have to post another, more naughty, picture of "my rack".

I was going to join your side but then I saw you using l33t-speak.

Please don't ever do that again. :)

Besides, Rosemary might post another bust-a-licious picture.

Then again, Dean still hasn't added me to his blogroll and I've been blogging for damn near a year.

Sigh. decisions decisions.

Well, I won't be posting any sexual photos as I feel I can intice people with my other assets.

Besides, Rosemary's assets in that manner far exceed mine. I can't compete.

a trackback to the post I did about my new job might help make up my mind. :)

j00 raWk! And don't worry about me being swayed by "rack pictures", I'm a butt man. Women's butts, smarties. Oh, and while writing this, I noticed that they cropped out the barfly's boobs in the Big Mouth ad. HAHAHAHA! You should've requested the brunette's pic, like James has over at OTB, she's prettier. What you can see of her, anyway.

Your writing skill far exceeds mine. Boobs is all can offer...

Cam, ya gotta try harder. I got linked - at least for today.

Michelle - yer right, the shameless hussy is trying to entice me with her rack. Given some of your other posts... dang how fast it sinks, eh? Hasn't worked yet, though. I'll hold out for full frontal. If I'm going to go down for pulchritude, might as well get my money's worth!

Ask SWWBO, though, I'm not drawn to large tracts of land. I prefer quality plots.

Regardless, the Castle Argghhh! Fighting Fusileers for Freedom is open for business and recruiting. We'll decide what army to join later.

Condottiere, that's me!

Count me in! Nothing like a little balance of perspective.

NOW you tell me? After I already hopped right to it and donated enough for a camcorder? No fair!

Confessions of a Pilgrim is with ASV and TCP!

I simply love this idea! I'm linked to you but my blog software doesn't allow trackback so...here's the link:

http://www.3nailsministries.org/blog/index.php?itemid=18

You have a lot of bootie obsessed people on this blog.

Back to the topic: Why isn't AFN taking care of this?

After Amy Fisher you might be the most famous woman from Long Island. (No offense.)

I'm with the ASV battalion.

Unfortunately, I can't guarantee a "bevy" of any kind.

Of course, you could incite the readership with frequent references to bass shucking...er wait...um...grass chucking...no...um pass ducking...oh, I know it goes something like that...

gas huffing?

Oh, you mean ASS FUCKING.

Come on, say it out loud, babe. It doesn't hurt.

That much.

well...if the noble mission wasn't enough all this talk about boobs and stuff has certainly won me over!

Roxanne - it's not AFN's job, and they are prohibited from doing things like this.

It's more like VOA.

Michelle - I have a cool recruiting poster!

Oh, and about the bootie obsession - it's kinda like Michelle observed, the "Godwins Law" of female blogging.

As soon as bootie appears, the thread has died.

But didn't Rosemary, the Evil Queen start it?

I am so UN-blogworthy.

Who the hell is Dean?

Sounds like a great idea to me.

Yes, it's really me.

Count me in. This might be the quickest "Dean" defeat since Howard went holler...

(Ouch. That's real bad. Sorry.)

Snooze Button Dreams is proud to support the side of goodness and right. Unless this is the other side...if so, we're proud to support the side of dastardly evil.

Cam - how bad you want that link, bro?

Already linked him! Nyah nyah!

All the really cool bloggers are members of the Liberty Alliance. All the rest are lUzrs d00dz!!!1!!!

Yer both shameless hussys! (Not you Michele - Dean and Rosemary!)

I hereby announce myself open for blatant pandering for my allegiance!
(posted on all concerned)

We know what the correct answer is to the question at hand!
We fight for ASV. And our loot will support ASV.
Monday! Monday! Monday!

Count me in. I have already started publicizing this noble blogwar on my site, and will pass the word on to the Colorado Conservative and other bloggers with more readers than myself.

After I saw the lineup at the Fighting Fusileers, I realized the need to defect over to the winning side. Sorry about that!

Yes Igor yes, start the monster....ergng! The Fighting Fusileers for Freedom must finially finish in infinitely finite fashion of fabulously furious furor!

Must tell the master! The Project is almost ready! Bwahahahahah!!!!
