Jbooks.com: "Please Send Money"

OK, normally I would never blog about a fundraiser, especially one I'm not even involved in, but this is such a creative effort that they deserve kudos and maybe even our money!

Jbooks.com, the web magazine for Jewish book reviews, news, excerpts, and so on, is strapped for cash, like everyone is these days. But instead of kvetching or shnorring they invited Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky (who is Jewish) to literally sing the praises of Jbooks, to inspire would-be donors. Take a look at this very funny video, and if you like what you see, consider making a donation and/or sharing the video by email, blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

And if you enjoy Robert Pinsky's performance, catch him in The Colbert Report - he's hilarious!
