Let's Be Nice

I know this is out of character for what we do here, but there's nothing for it. The way I see it is this: it's sort of like a friend got stalked by this Katrina chick, and she ended up going turbo-bunny boiler on him (or her), blew up his house and tried to kill him and his family. They survived, but they're not in a happy place right now. So I reckon this is where they need some friends' help. I'm thinking we can be those friends. I'm not typically big on trying to appeal to anyone to give money or take up the fight, but this is an unusual case. That Katrina was one seriously crazy bitch. Maybe we can lend a hand, or at least a few bucks. The Red Cross makes it easy to donate with a credit card on their web site, or you can call 1-800-HELP-NOW.

If nothing else, I reckon I can stay in for a night and give them the money I would have wasted at the bar. If Diddy and Jay-Z can be open their wallets for these folks, then I can at least give up a bar tab. And since I was there, anyway, this page has a nice list of places to make donations and/or help out.

That said, I hope you all have a great holiday weekend.
