Off topic but I just remembered that I saw a “Save the Children” commercial on late TV last night complete with a lot of pictures of starving little children. Couldn’t help but wonder why one of the Clinton Foundations isn’t in there taking care of this problem. It would be neat to plaster a truck with those pictures and drive it up and down the streets in Chappaqua with a big sign - “needs help desperately from the CLINTON FOUNDATION!”
