Katrina Relief Helps Pay for Democrat National Convention ?
I don't quite know what to make of this paragraph from an article in the Denver Post. It seems that a large chunk of the money that was donated to a charity to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, is instead being used to fund a "welcome to Denver" bash for the DNC delegates.
Friends of New Orleans, a charity formed to help that city recover from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, is paying for the party, and for a concert with New Orleans-style food at the Fillmore Auditorium afterward for the 6,000 delegates and their guests on Aug. 24, the Sunday before the convention opens.
Off the Porch and lovin' it...
"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
- Marcus Tullius Cicero - 55 BC
