To: Hillary's Lovely Legs, all
Did anyone see O'Reilly tonight? He spoke to a guy from charitywatch.org, with the overall question being: who is going to oversee all the $ being raised for the victims, from all the different charities.
The guy told O'R that it is up to the individual charity's Board of Directors. He also pointed out there will be some victims that will not require any assistance, having their own insurances, and company plans, etc.
O'R ticked off about 5 different charities that have already raised well over 200M, and one charity told him they have so much money they don't know what to do with it all.
Is it maybe time to hold off on further donations until it is determined how many need how much?
Believe his show will be re-run tonight at 11:00EST.

I was walking by the family room when I saw O'Reilly ask someone about the mayor's long-time chauffeur getting the job as head of security at Logan.
Sheeesh. He knows how to get a long limo around a corner and that qualifies him as head of security?

Maybe the spare cash could be directed to servicepeople's families.

Well math is not a strong point for me but if you figure there are over 6,000 victims and each left an average of 2 kids, that is a lot of money needed to take care of their education, etc. In fact, according to my math, and do correct me if I am wrong, but if you gave each family $100,000 multiply that by 6,000 and I get 600 million.
