'Tis the giving season, parts 2 and 3

Way back when there were just a handful of liberal political bloggers, The American Street was one of them. Kevin Hayden has, over the years, helped and promoted many a blogger, gathered round all those lone voices and built a community out of them - a community that is quick to help one of its own when needed (and it helped me a couple of times in the past). Now it is time to pay back - Kevin was hurt by the collapsing housing bubble and needs your help. Not much - a couple of bucks each.

And once you are done there and still have some cash to spare, there is another good cause. While Pandagon and Shakesville are busy group blogs, and Echidne, Majikthise and Feministe are not exactly single-voice blogs any more either, Feministing is going a step further - building a big community, you know, like a feminist version of DailyKos, with diaries and stuff. But that effort needs your help. You know what to do.
