disallow *those* ads here. It's like an anti-abortion site hosting abortion ads on their site. Or a Catholic Church site featuring ads for birth control. Or an anti-gun site featuring ads for cheap guns. You get my drift.

That DU might have a per click program in place aside from what they offer on Advertise Liberally. I don't see any ads . .. but it wouldn't hurt to click through on those ads. This way - more money to keep this place running - for a site that has a bunch 'blah' people on it like me!
