It's been a long time
I've been hating on too much real stuff to hate on goofy things for a while--Sorry Walter. I'll try to do better.
I'm going controversial for my return.
Mo Hates the American Red Cross.
Don't get me wrong, I feel sorry for the people who were caught in Katrina.--Although I would never die in a hurricane; I might die in a car wreck trying to get away, but I would NOT die in a hurricane. And don't give me that crap about them being too poor. It's a week til payday and I have $10. Poor does not equal stupid. That's beside the point though.
If you're giving money to the Red Cross thinking it's going to Katrina's victims, don't be surprised to discover that it's been "saved" for future disasters--it's in the fine print--it happened after 9/11--it'll happen after the next big disaster.
From a purely business standpoint, it makes sense. Most retail stores rely on the Christmas season to carry them through the rest of the year. The Red Cross relies on the high profile disasters to make enough to help with all the little ones that come along. The only problem is the Red Cross isn't a typical business and their methods are, at best, borderline deceitful. Ain't that America, even the charities suck.

The Red Cross does good with blood. They need to stick to that.
Actually, many hospitals have moved away from the Red Cross to other blood collection agencies because they don't think the Red Cross doesn't do a good job with blood.
