Comic Relief 2006 on HBO - For NOLA and Katrina Victims

[XOKCowboy]

They're showing some very heartbreaking footage of New Orleans and are featuring the reconstruction as their theme this year. Oh yeah there are also some funny people performing also.

So many good things to contribute to and so little money. *sigh*

1. I saw the interview last night with Anderson Cooper

He interviewed Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal & Robin Williams. I tip my hat to all involved with this endeavor.

We lost an entire coastline of America. Hard to believe even now.

New Orleans is our Iraq, no electricity and no plumbing that one 83 year old American gentleman has none of.

8. I've always loved Nawlins...

It's a travesty what's NOT happened there. It's been 15 months for gawd's sakes! It truly is our domestic Iraq. One of BushCo's big slogans was that charities instead of the government should take care of these things. I'm sure he had the megachurches in mind when he said it but it's us liberals who publicize the need and try to make a real difference. Dollars instead of rhetoric.

OK I've made the call. 1-800-528-1000 I was going to make a late (guilty) donation to DU but had to send the money to Comic Relief. Sorry Skinner. I'll make it up next quarter. Call and donate to Comic Relief if you can.

10. They are beating the shit out of bush...

Billy Crystal just begged bush to give one day's cost of the war to NOLA.
