CARACAS (AFP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez offered to send food and fuel to the United States after the powerful Hurricane Katrina pummeled the US south, ravaging US crude production.

snip

I have yet to hear from any US offical on this offer.

If you asked the people of NO they would gladly accept.

1. God Bless Chavez.
I'm not big on socialism, but I am big on compassionate leaders.

10. Can't make the King (*) mad
NO NO NO!

Those people will have to starve or die if it otherwise means making the King look bad.

Can't be having none of that!

7. Robertson's Operation Blessing
is one of the official faith based organizations collecting donations for the hurricane relief. You can bet that Robertson is going to stuff half that money in his pockets. DO NOT give to Operation Blessing, stick with the Red Cross or the Salvation Army.

12. Or your own church, if they are having a drive
My church will work through the Red Cross, they typically do in this type of thing, like in the tsunami relief.

The UCC, the UMC and other denominations will have their own efforts. I know the UCC always has their One Great Hour Of Sharing program for disaster and famine relief. CROP and Church World Service are also reliable organizations.
