The Entertainers
Posted by andir on September 04, 2005
Yes, with a city in ruins, what is there to do but have a telethon where entertainers, who inexplicably are given a voice in times of distress, are coming on and reading teleprompters. It is good, of course, if it makes people react in a positive way and donate to important causes. The question is, do you really need Celine Dion telling you what to do, or can you do it yourself without the benefit of a Vegas performer sometimes enjoyed by the elderly?
Personally, I would rather see my taxes at work providing shelter and sustenance to the disaster stricken poor rather than seeing my taxpayer cash fighting a questionable war.
