Something More About Haiti

A number of places are raising red flags regarding the Yele Haiti Charity...

(Gawker, WCBS)

Please read the articles.

They are not saying that it is a scam, not in the least, just that there may be better organizations for you to send your money...places like the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, Partners in Health, or OxFam.

The Brights have also published a list of charities that have little or no religious affiliation (as that is an issue for me).

Recorded Two Weeks Ago

And in light of the Haiti thing, it seems like such awful whining about the little things, however, as you may know by now, so much of my life is whining about the little things.

Zero

I have no patience tonight.

Not for people in general, and not for idiots.

To the woman at happy hour that I yelled at for insisting that "China Girl" was by Billy Idol, I apologize....semi-sincerely.

I probably should have just stayed home. At least there, I know that the dog and the cat like me....

And a shoutout to @paigethesage

Favorite line.

Helping Haiti in Albany

Outside of the Rite Aid on North Pearl Street in Albany, members of "A Village" have set up a donation center to help with the Haitian Earthquake Relief Project.




"A Village" is the brainchild of Willie White, who sees it as a grassroots organization in Albany. "A Village" was started this past August and they are working on getting the Not-For-Profit status.




If you want to help, or have any questions, Mr. White is available at avillage5@aol.com
