Figure that&#8217;s $50\/week.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re like me, you could stand to lose a few pounds (I&#8217;m down 10 with 10 more to go to get to 180), and skipping lunch or taking a yogurt and banana from home is a good way to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Then you&#8217;re left with the problem of what to do with the extra cash.<\/p>\n<p>This week, I&#8217;m going to point you to two places:<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutor Patterico <a href=\"http:\/\/patterico.com\/2006\/06\/13\/4673\/help-the-family-of-an-lapd-officer-paralyzed-in-the-line-of-duty\/\" target=\"browser\">is directing people to the fund<\/a> for paralyzed LAPD officer Kristina Ripatti, who was shot by a genuine Bad Guy (note Patterico&#8217;s earlier post). You can PayPal him funds to patterico*at*gmail*dot*com (I just sent $25 over) and he&#8217;ll pass it along.<\/p>\n<p>And BlackFive <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackfive.net\/main\/2006\/06\/be_a_small_sphe.html\" target=\"browser\">is asking for donations<\/a> for new voice-actuated laptops for wounded troops through <a href=\"http:\/\/soldiersangels.org\/valour\/index.html\" target=\"browser\">Project Valor-IT<\/a>. I just sent them $25 as well.<\/p>\n<p>So go look in the mirror and ask yourself &#8211; wouldn&#8217;t you feel better if you were 5 pounds thinner? And wouldn&#8217;t you feel lots better if the money went to &#8211; as BlackFive calls it: &#8220;Caring For The Defenders&#8221;?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Armed Liberal is spending his lunch money again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1116"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1116"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1116\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
