If you haven't read about Genghis's fundraising events, please do so.  But, if you can't attend, then consider taking part, right here, right now, in my Obama fundraising challenge.

Here are the terms: I pledge to donate $100 to the Obama campaign, and $100 to the democratic senate candidate of Genghis's choice, if he will permanently change his avatar to one that isn't an animated gif.  It's that simple.

I call on all of you loyal TPM readers to join me in pledging what you can, if Genghis will take off his technicolored dreamshirt. If you are with me, sign below and let Genghis know what you'll do for the progressive cause.
