Double Your (New) Money By Donating to Reason's Webathon, and its New Matching Challenge!
By now you know the drill: Please donate tax-deductible money to Reason's annual Webathon, so that the beautiful nonprofit that publishes this here website thingie can keep bringing you the best in libertarian journalism and commentary, defending "Free Minds and Free Markets" like a Comfort Pig defends sad-faced airline passengers. We are clawing our way to an ambitious $200,000 goal before Dec. 9, and we are around $34,000 of the way there, thanks to generous donations from 287 of you.
BUT WAIT, THERE IS A TOTALLY NEW TWIST.
Check it on out: Thanks to a challenge grant from an anonymous donor (who is one of your fellow Hit & Run addicts), every penny of new money that you give us during the course of the Webathon will be matched, up to $25,000. That means if you've never made a donation to Reason before, your donation (up to a total of $25,000) will be matched 100 percent. And if you've given us money in the past, but raise your donation above previous levels, our friendly neighborhood anonymouse will match the difference, dollar for dollar. SO YOU ARE BASICALLY DOUBLING YOUR MONEY WHEN YOU DONATE RIGHT THE HELL NOW.
Why should you give us your hard-earned money? We've given you a few good reasons so far: To extend and explore the libertarian moment, to defend much-hated comments sections against elites, to sic more Suderman-Computerman on Obamacare, to fight against the Drug War, to give Ron Bailey a new hovercraft, and to commit a crime against nature. We will be adding to these noble value-propositions as the week goes by.
But for now, know only this: Double your donating power! Give to Reason right the hell now, in the currency and methodology of your choice! You will get swag, you will get bragging rights, you will get a little scrolling message thingie that will display in the upper right-hand corner of the website, and you will get the satisfaction of a donation well-leveraged.

OK. Which one of you is Captain Moneybags? We need to know so we can reclaim your monocle. That $25k could have built 25 more orphan workstations! What were you thinking?
$1000 per workstation? You should cut back on your safety measures.
How many Orphans per workstation though?
Workstations are measured in orphan burn rate.
OPM
STEVE SMITH?
Who is the most bemonocled among us?
PB, tony, or mary.
That would be delicious. The most hated poster is the most generous.
There's no one else interacting with them in their basement besides reasonoids.
Penn Jillete? Drew Carey? George Soros?
Are you suggesting those gentlemen (well, 2 out of 3) are...*looks around*...among us??
Penn once did a video response to an H&R post, I believe.
If FoE was Penn that would help explain his wizardry at getting the first post on the links.
and then she told me a story, 'bout free milk and a cow...
I'm guessing it's Grand Moff Serious Man. The empire is evil, but it pays well.
Well, it's not me, that's more than a third of my annual gross income.
Maybe one of the Koch Bros. is a secret HyR persona.
If that's that case: please call me for an interview for that web dev job at the CK Institute! You won't regret it! *wink*
So since I gave the same as last year, none of it will be doubled? Fuck you Capt. Moneybags and orphan-powered palanquin you rode in on!
Yeah, me too. Already gave at a swag level, so canna afford anything additional.
Let's go have lunch together with the Jacket.
If we trade The Jacket for 2Chilly, Shackford, or Krayewski, I'm in.
1) Dunking booth
2) Tony
3) Carnivorous creature of choice
4) ????
5) PROFIT!
I think Epi is actually Drew Carey.
Or maybe Warty. Anybody know if Carey has a doomcock?
It could be Pen. He's rich, right?
Penn. Sorry Mr Jillette. My phone killed one of your N's
I could see Epi owning a nancy soccer team
Seattle Sounders?
That doesn't really narrow down which team.

Someone's orphans are going to go without this winter.
This is clearly not from me, or we'd have double alt-text somehow.
And redheads for everyone!
I like my on the petite, yet athletic side. Thnx.
The brunette I have would take mortal exception to that. As in, she would probably mortally wound me. You can have mine.
Maybe Fist gets revenue every time he comments first, and this is his way of giving back.
No, he feeds off of frustration.
That and Mallo Cups.
You're a monster.
HOW MUCH FOR THE WOMEN?
TIWTANLW!
I appreciate whoever's doing this. But I gave the same as last year (I think) , so I'm just like a welfare recipient, basically.
Sorry.
