When Europeans and celebrities cite international comparisons for donations, they always stick to % of the federal budget and not % of the GDP. Our private donations – money that we willingly give – put their governments’ “donations” (money forcibly extracted from their citizens and redistributed to others) to shame.

I bought my mom a widow’s mite coin in a necklace from the shop across from the British Museum in London. It’s the coin from parable about the two brass coins in the Bible. Maybe instead of hanging human blood around her neck AJ should have such a necklace as a reminder about sacrafices she isn’t capable or willing to make before she and her vacuous husband pop-off.

Like certain politicians having to make their tax returns public we should make these liberal do-gooder celebrities do the same before they’re allowed to preach to us about giving to charity.

It all depends on what charities count according to the celebs. I’m sure my donations to Bibles for Asia, Voice of the Martyrs, and the Catholic church don’t count because they are too closely tied to that icky taint of “religion” for the celebs to consider it charity instead of a subversive way for me to force my oppressor Western Civilization way of life on innocent savages.

Very nice work, Debbie! Would someone (maybe you?) please try to find out what these uneducated malcontents have given to charity? I sure wish there was a way to slap them in the head every time they spout unsubstantiated crap. They’d all have concussions from perpetual slapping, but no brain damage (that’s already apparent).
SKANKELINA CLAIMS TO GIVE 1/3 OF HER INCOME TO CHARITY, WHICH I DOUBT, BECAUSE AFTER TAXES, HER AGENT’S FEES, ETC., THAT WOULDN’T LEAVE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT HER VERY LUXE LIFESTYLE. STILL, 1/3 OF GAZILLIONS, STILL LEAVES HER WITH GAZILLIONS, SO IT’S HARDLY A COMPARISON WITH THE AVERAGE WORKING STIFF, WHERE EVEN GIVING A HUNDRED DOLLARS IS A LOT OF MONEY. BONO DOESN’T GIVE MUCH AT ALL, BUT LOVES SPENDING AMERICAN TAXPAYER MONEY ON HIS PET PROJECTS.
