Forget Red vs. Blue, The Only Color That Matters is Green
This makes me feel a little weird. On the left col of the TPM front page, we have two ads. Removing the articles, this is what we get:
Now obviously, one of these ads is placed by Google, TPM likely has no control over exactly what ad comes up there. To me, it's highly disappointing which one it is. I want to give TPM the benefit of the doubt, I really like it here. But this is a little odd.
Is this what it takes to run a profitable website? If so I'm very sad. Someone please comfort me!

No? Ok fine I'll comfort myself a bit :-P
At least TPM is taking money away from idiots, it's doubtful the top ad is going to sell anyone here on prop 8.
I really wish it was the other way around though, TPM accepting money to fight the good fight and kill prop 8, and google bringing the opposition here.
Oh well, this will all be over tomorrow (thank god!). I really hope prop 8 goes down in flames, it's so wrong to deny these people some basic dignity and rights that the rest of us have.

As clarified in Josh's post, all ads apparently come from Google. It's a little odd to me that some say so and some don't, but what do I know?
