Good for Shaq. He's already done more than Jesse Jackson will ever do about the disaster in NO

God bless Shaq and his family for their good deeds.
I predict Shaq will eventually be President.
Celebrity activism is on the rise.
They should be proud - they are inspiring many Americans to get out there and help their fellow citizens.
Good for Shaq and those of like mind.
