TC the Terrible

For those of you at the Dallas, TX office of the United Way that keep checking this page out; why not leave a comment or two and explain how THE WOMAN and Amanda D are both wrong about your little neo-Nazi non-pofit group? We’d love to hear your side, if only to ridicule you further.

It’s about time that somebody got honest with the public about the United Way. THE WOMAN has been working in the non-profit world for the last dozen years or so and she’s always had that opinion of them.

Me, I quit supporting them when they pulled the funding from the Boy Scout program. Not that the United Way ever had a problem with the way the Scouts were run as an organization, but it was done to make a political statement. Charity groups should either be free of politics or they should give up their tax free status. Ric Edelman, chairman of the United Way’s board can spin all he wants, Untied Way is a chairity in deep do-do right now. They should have stuck to helping kids and stayed away from the gay political movement.

Now that the former financial head of United Way, Kim Tran, has gone public with how they cook the books maybe something will be done about it. United Way was never known for putting a great amount of their donations into the programs. Overhead was always where most of the funds went. Still, it makes people feel good to give and it’s easy to give to a big group with a familiar logo.

If you want to donate money, and want nearly 80% of the money you donate to go to the cause try these guys. The National Capitol Area Chapter of the American Liver Foundation has one of the smallest operational budgets in the area. They pump almost 80 cents of every dollar donated back into education programs and research projects. The web site has more details on how you can help.

I’m out of the office today enjoying a nice little 18 walk in the park with THE WOMAN. To be quite honest, my bandwidth needs a break as badly as I do. I’ll let you know later how it goes.

Sorry for the late update. I have been in two star level briefings all day and no chance to get on the net. More about that later.

For now ponder Condi Rice cleaning up the mess that she took over, and W admitting to having made some mistakes. Both things that the Left has asked for, but niether will be enough to satisfy them.

Off to a fund raiser for THE WOMAN.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll have more for you.
