Natalie Ambrose at Emerging Issues in Philanthropy has just posted a great overview of philanthropy blogs. She has "outed" me as the author of Philanthropoid's blog. Actually, it is an honor I don't deserve. The real Philanthropoid is far better informed than I about giving, and a far better writer. Great to see Council on Foundations, through Emerging Issues, is now following the giving blogs. I am somewhat surprised that Wealth Bondage made the list, but I suppose Dumpster Dwellers can talk among themselves about Philanthropy if they wish. It is a free country. And after all, Candidia's Rooster Foundation, Crowing in the New American Dawn, is a respected member of COF as is Tigg Montague, Senior Wealth Bondage Fellow, representing the Heritage of Wealth Bondage Foundation, a Think Tank devoted to Excellence and Human Flourishing among the Natural Aristocracy.
If you can convince anyone that I'm a far better writer, then you're a far better liar. I haven't met Natalie, but she seems to be a good sport. Reaching across the blogosphere to shake hands with Phil A. is like Che Guevara embracing the lepers at San Francisco del Chanar: it takes a lot of knowledge, training, and good will not to recoil.

Yes, Natalie has opened a door, and we Pariahs should all be grateful for her kindness.
