After reading the article "Who's Behind the Attack on Liberal Professors?" I want to categorically state that I have refused - and I will continue to refuse - any attempts by Richard Mellon Scaife and other right-wing foundations to provide funding of this blog. As the article points out, such funding always comes with strings attached, and I want to assure my readership that I am, and will continue to be, beholden to no one.

As for the article, it does have a grain or two of truth. However, why is it necessarily evidence of evil intent when a specific group of foundations tend to fund organizations with which they're ideologically in agreement? But, once again, let it be known far and wide that I will refuse any attempts by anyone to fund this space. I remain incorruptible and above it all.
