Xs and Bs for Haiti

Jun02
2010

I’ve been thinking about Haiti. Over Christmas I stayed in the St. Louis home of my friend Jim Coughlin. His family helps Haiti via his brother Mark’s church’s mission out of Duluth, Georgia. Because his family was very nice to me and treated me like kin. I’ve been trying to find a way to help Haiti and so I decided to help Mark’s mission, which brings medical treatment to rural Haiti. Executing an idea is another matter… I identified funds recently. I had worked for an advertising company (Draft FCB)  in NYC in March on behalf of a client, some pharmaceutical that makes Plan B, a drug that is a secondary birth control. Draft needed to extend my gig and when they asked, I thought: I can work this extra time and use the money for good. … for Haiti!!

Here’s me with my friend Jim and his sister-in-law during his niece’s birthday bowling party. Each of us had just thrown a strike.

Unfortunately, I have not yet received my last paycheck, due to Draft FCB red tape. But when I do: it’s been EARMARKED for the Hinche Fund. You can read about Haiti fund by St. Monica. Or, just donate to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. Or even the Red Cross…. (amen).  Actually, forget the Red Cross. Go with Clinton Bush: you have to appreciate a COMEDY DUO composed of our most recent Presidents that is on a humanitarian mission in the Third World… these guys are comic geniuses. (I’m sure you’ve seen that “wipe the hands on Bill’s shirt” gag).

Bush Speaks to Dems at Retreat

Feb05
2007
1 Comment

President Bush attended an annual retreat of Congressional Democrats Saturday, in which he apologized for having referred to “the Democrat majority,” omitting the “ic.” during his State of the Union address.

The Democrats in turn explained that they hadn’t been booing him during the State of the Union, they were merely pronouncing his name minus the last two letters.

OR

Bush pledged to not only restore the ‘I’ and ‘C’; but to create for Congress a big ‘I O U.‘

OR

When Bush returned from the meeting, the White House had set up a large banner on the South Lawn that read: “Retreat Accomplished.”

OR

When asked to explain why Bush attended the retreat for the first time in six years, spokesman Tony Snow said “he was looking for his poll numbers which are also retreating.”

President’s State of the Union Address

Jan24

President Bush gave his State of the Union speech last night. He proposed a way to increase access to health care for millions of Americans.

However, his plan would exclude 21,000 soldiers.

The President also set a goal of reducing gasoline consumption 20% over the next ten years.

The plan is to get the country to gradually warm to the idea of ‘Stay at Home on Hump Day.’
