Sept. 11 Charities Under Fire
0The Red Cross and other aid groups are under fire for giving only a portion of the billions that have poured in since Sept. 11 to the attacks' victims. What do you think?
“Hey, I felt great when I gave that money. Isn't that all that matters?”
Leslie Gottfried –
Sales Associate“See? That's why giving actual money to a charity is a bad idea. I donated 10 tennis lessons instead.”
Andrew Dillon –
Tennis Pro“I recently donated to a Sept. 11 online charity and was afraid the money wouldn't all go to the victims. But the folks at savinpeopleandshit.com assured me it would.”
Don Matthius –
Office Manager“All I can say is, if the money I gave goes to some Indian kid orphaned by a monsoon instead of a Sept. 11 victim, I'm gonna be fuckin' pissed.”
Barb Rocket –

Richard Risley –
Lawyer“Well, these vague accusations and rumors seal it: I'm never donating to a charity again.”
