Stay chooned in for more!
i just wanted you guys to know the AMAZING thing Oprah did, she's donating 40 MILLION dollars to the children of Africa!

I loved her before but now i REALLY love her!
 
ok Now the thing is who did she donate it too, and is that funds really going to get to the children? Its one thing to through money at a problem to feel good about yourself, but its another things to have it accualy get to the children. There is just tons of money tossed to the "children" of africa that never makes it there. The food that is suposed to get to the children gets intercepted by the warlords and nothing ever gets fixxed. Its a good jesture, but I duno if its will do any good. To much jenicide there. The warlords don't give a crap about the children and will take that money to finance their domination of africa.
 
i dunno, she said it was an investment.
 
Oprah is a bright person...I think she would investigate organizations THOROUGHLY before flinging a "measley" 40Mil to someone.

I wish I had money...there are a lot of things I'd to donate to.

Girls don't have the same access to education in lots of places and are raised to be deferential to boys. So starting a girls-only school in such a place makes sense. But it's a lot easier to come up with money to start a school than to sustain one. Much greater photo op potential.

What's wrong with that. That's the way it's suppose to be.

Look, I know that's the right way too, but I can't say it out loud around here. My wife and daughter would kill me. OK?

I'll say it. After so many insertions, my foot goes right in my mouth without even a problem.

Mind you, she does earn $1.8million per episode so I think I'd feel guilty not giving some of that to charity if I earnt it!
