The telethon is still in the early stages there is time for someone to go out on a limb.

You missed nothing but an incoherent but 0h-so-sincere speech from Clooney and a couple of bands I guess we're supposed to be hip enough to know because they don't say who they are.

However, it does show that they CARE.

Its for a good cause, I have no problem with them holding this telethon. As long as they keep politics out of it. I am watching it in bits and pieces, seems alright to me.

I only get 6 stations now. They all are showing that telethon. Makes me feel like I’m in Russia or somewhere.

I thought as much about Clooney. God bless the Haitian people and help them now more than ever.

Dear Haiti I love you. I cant go there and work. But I am a stranger but still wish I can help.

I am planning to pay my electrical bill which means no food for a couple of weeks. Thanks Dad.

Wyclef Jean is a crook. He takes money for Haiti and keeps it.

I don’t have cable and just received a nasty note from my liberal sister blasting FOX News for not carrying it. Does anyone know if MSNBC has it on? TV listings show.....The Rachel Maddow Show, Why Planes Crash: Breaking Point,The Squeeze: Wanna Work a Number, Lockup.

Only the strong of heart should tune in.

I’m sure many of the people involved have good intentions, but I don’t understand why they let Wyclef Jean be involved. He has some ‘plainin to do.

“I hope you are female :)”

LOL!!!

Last time I checked I am. It was this morning when I bathed and then when I got dressed after that. What confirms it is my underwear.

P.S.

I also shaved under my arms yesterday before I shaved my legs.

: ) : )

I saw maybe 2 minutes of it. Long enough to notice that the self-proclaimed hero of “the American worker”, Springsteen, is using a Jap guitar. A lot of these guys don’t pay for their guitars anyway, but get them as part of their “endorsement deals”. Maybe Takamine gave him a better deal than any of the American companies would offer? He’s probably correct, though, in thinking that most of his fans are too stupid to notice his little, ah, “inconsistency”.
