"They interviewed the killer whale at Sea World on Nightline. He said near-sighted and mistook his trainer for a penguin. He's going back into rehab for penguin addiction.

Causecast Music recently interviewed award-winning songwriter and frequent collaborator to fellow Mouseketeer alumnae, Matt Morris who recently discussed Haiti, what he's doing to help, and how people unite in the face of tragedy.
“Everyone who’s not in that place right now, everyone who’s not in Haiti, suffering through this, is experiencing by default, a kind of privilege. And so the question’s not whether it’s good or bad that we have that privilege, it’s what do we do within that privilege.”

You'd think Bill O'Reilly would at least be a little embarrassed that Fox News Channel was the only news entity on cable TV not to broadcast last week's "Hope for Haiti" concert.
But no. Instead of apologizing or even mentioning some kind of lame excuse why Fox didn't air it, on his show last night O'Reilly actually went on the warpath against the benefit and its organizers, demanding "transparency" and a full accounting of where all the money's going.
What really got his dander up? The benefit's organizers "wouldn't or couldn't" provide a spokesman to come on his show and explain himself.You'd think Bill O'Reilly would at least be a little embarrassed that Fox... more

It takes a lot of disdain for the human race to use a catastrophic event such as the earthquake in Haiti to peddle people out of their hard earned dollar. Unfortunately, this is what the “Hope for Haiti” telethon is all about. The donations will benefit such foundations as the Clinton Bush Haiti Foundation and UNICEF. Instead of the proceeds going towards a local Haitian organization that would provide the victims with adequate food and water, the millions will be given to a foundation created in part by George W. Bush.
If that does not alarm you, then you have not done your research. Corrupt politicians have no business taking donations for a country in turmoil. There are plenty of organizations that have been operating in Haiti for years, and have therefore proven themselves to be legitimate. The IRC (International Rescue Committee) spends 90% of its funds on beneficial programs, while only using 4% for administrative costs, and 4% on fundraising.
