The telethon for Haiti was on TV last night and I didn't watch it even though it brings to mind my all-time favorite "Simpsons" episode. That's the one where celebs record a song called "We're Sending Our Love Down the Well" after the media latches on to a story about a kid falling into a well.
Haiti is a very worthwhile cause -- and I'm proud to work for a company that is matching all of its employees' donations. But I don't really need Madonna's earnest pleadings.
However, I rethought my position today when I saw a photo of the celebs who were answering the pledge phones. * sigh * If I'd called in, I might have spoken with Andy Garcia!
Here's my thought.
How about all those mega-millionaires each pony up say....500,000-1,000,000 a piece? Low overhead and production costs.
Problem solved.
And totally off topic:

God help us all. I may have to disown my hometown.
