Full disclosure: I have a PayPal button on my site any ANYONE is welcome to donate.** You will notice on this list at least two recent candidates for office, one of whom now holds office.* At one time I ran a disclosure on the page itself, but it vanished after a recent redesign, and I thought it best to post it again on a separate page. I take donations for the purpose of keeping this site open. Donors do not get special treatment, nor is there a guarantee that I’ll write about their pet projects or issues. Anyone who tried will be disappointed. Anyone who wants to buy a specific message can buy a BlogAd or pay big bucks for a sponsored post (which will be labeled as advertising).

* Most people on this list are regular commenters and other bloggers. Critics: Have at it.

** I have since removed the PayPal button from the main page. I no longer take “tips.”

“There is no other way to say this, you are a whiny bitch.”

– Josh Harris

“I’ve had the peoria pundit on my blogroll for a long time now, and I read Bill regularly. I’m really disappointed that time constraints didn’t allow me to hook up with him and quaff a couple of frothy ales at a titty-bar while I was on my cross-country trip and spent the night just outside of Peoria. I hope to rectify that mistake sometime in the future. I’ve alway respected Bill because he is a genuine journalist, with bona-fide credentials and by-lines and all that impressive shit.”

– Rob Smith, the Acidman

“There’s only one Peoria Pundit, and it’s Billy, King of Peoria Bloggers. Long live the king!”

– C.J. Summers, Peoria Chronicle.

Bill Dennis is putting forth common sensical genius (yes, I just invented that term) at a dazzling rate.

– Ricky West, Toys in the Attic.

“Bill Dennis, a loudmouth and proud of it.”

– Tom Mangan.
