Just an example, but the Fiesta Bowl is a charity. Part of their non-profit venture is apparently to help teach the strippers at the local clubs the proper technique for a lap dance. There are plenty of stories out there about fake charities. Not to mention the charitable activities by athletes. Either the Globe or Herald discovered that something like 30% of proceeds from the Beckett Bowl actually made it to Josh's charity. For Jeter's event it was closer to 25%. You're supposed to strive for 70% going to charity, 30% for "overhead" not the other way around.

Yes, but to my way of thinking, 30% for overhead is on the high end of acceptable. The Salvation Army does better than that, and helps people who might not get any help from anybody otherwise. Candidly, I don't think of events with sports figures as "charities," no matter how they're marketed. There are questionable activities and expenditures all over the place. That's why local BBB's publish ratings of charities in their locations. But the horror stories and fake charities are not the rule, they're the exceptions. Church charities do an enormous amount of good work. Personally, I can't stand the coercive collection techniques of United Way*, but in the main, they seem to do a good job.


Years ago you used to be able to buy in joke stores slotted donation cans of the type then in use with this label: "Support Mental Health or I'll cill you."

*Any charity that intrudes in my relationship with my employer or has the brass b*lls to create a form listing "my fair share," doesn't deserve a penny, IMO. Having my employer ask me for donations is inherently coercive, period.

You know, I'm thinking maybe Paul Ryan is a little confused about what it means to lose the election. What it means, you little weasel, is that the public rejected your idiotic agenda so move on to something else. What a bozo. Hope he's the GOP nominee in 2016...well, I suppose I'd really prefer Dick Cheney but I guess that's not going to happen. ;)

I love how you talk this way but democrats never act this way when they lose...just saying. Winners always act like the loser should just give up...see Bush administration.

The comments are awesome.

Find out why his homosexual lovers in Chicago were all murdered before his entering White House. Also why did his homo best friend and drug user get beat to death with a ball peen hammer as well? Is nobama gay? Of course!

I think there is ample evidence for those that want to look to say that Barry is more than a cross dresser. He is a Bi-sexual at best and an out and out homosexual more likey.

Hey pal, I don't think you should try and say that because Michelle is fat and has a HUGE rear end that she is a lezbo... . ..its not nice to insinuate like that and you'll likely be labeled a racist.

The LGBT community has enough problems without bringing in Moochelle's obesity struggles and her obsession with projecting her eating disorders on all children via some socialist school lunch program.

The joy of unintended comedy.

Please, idiot Democrats stupidly went along with Bush II gimmicky tax hikes as well as disasterous Iraq War. They're hardly a paragon of stubbornness. If anything they were the other end of the spectrum back then.

In 2016, will the Democrats nominate Her Royal Highness, Hillary I, Queen of Arkansas, Duchess of Chautauqua, Margrave of Whitewater, Baroness of Benghazi and Consort of William XL, King of Arkansas??

No, they'll nominate Obama again. Three and a half years is more than enough time to circumvent the 22nd amendment.

Mea culpa. That's what I get for generally ignoring his excretions. But the point we both made, I think, is that caveat emptor applies to our choices of charities to support. Same thing applies to TV preachers, no?

I'll take box seats to heaven for $10,000, Rev.
