You know Crooks and Liars helps liberals and progressives stay up-to-date with the news by providing daily videos of events and analysis from all over. And today we need a little help from you to keep the curated videos on our servers coming to you every day.

So here's the deal: If you occasionally purchase an espresso-based beverage for yourself (or something stonger!), consider that you can also afford to send the same amount you spend at a coffeehouse or brewpub as a monthly recurring donation to Crooks and Liars for our end of the year fundraiser.

We won't spend it on coffee or booze, but we will use it to keep this blog, and its all-important (and expensive) video servers, going strong for your daily dose of liberal news coverage.

Every five dollar + contribution adds up very quickly, pays to keep the videos online, and we really appreciate it.

THANKS
