Help for Haiti

Posted with tags Haiti, Red Cross, Save the Children, Haiti Relief, Heartline Ministries, George Clooney, VH1, Comedy Central, CMT, ABC, NBC, HBO, CNN on 1/20/2010 11:08:32 AM by KT Pierce ~ Voodoo Priestess



Our hearts are with all of the victims in Haiti.

Many lives have been lost, and many more are in desperate need of help - babies and small children have lost their parents, and many orphans are without shelter.  By visiting Haiti-Relief.com, you can donate as little as $5 to help rebuild those orphanages.

In the mean time, the Save the Children foundation has been setting up Child Friendly Spaces (shelters and camps) to give the children a place to play and sleep until other remedies surface.

By texting the word "SAVE" to 20222, a $10 donation to Save the Children will be added to your phone bill.

Also by texting the word "HAITI" to 90999, a $10 donation to the Red Cross will be added to your phone bill.

Also, George Clooney (among other film stars who have yet to be named) is teaming up with MTV for a telethon event to raise money for the victims.

The event is set to air this Friday, January 22 on all MTV networks (this includes VH1, Comedy Central, and CMT) along with ABC, HBO, NBC, and CNN.

George Carlin left yesterday. Respect and appreciation. Carlin never stopped working. He made us more free:

"I think it is the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately."

"There is no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past."

"Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist."

"By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth."

"Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit."


COMING UPs


First, let's clean up a rumor. As far as we know, Keith Richards was (not) at the Was (Not Was) gig last night. His 'people' were there. So was Paul McGuinness, manager of the little four piece rock band, U2.  

If you wuz not at the Blender Theatre in NYC, you missed one of the funkiest, tightest nights of dance grooves in a dog's age. Was (Not Was) is essential live music medicine. SEE THIS TOURBUY THIS ALBUM. Here's a clip from Wednesday night in Boston of their BADASS Temptations cover.


Here's what's in the My Damn Channel pipeline.


ANDY MILONAKIS shot a short film for us with JASON MEWES (Clerks & more) - premiering next week with a chance for you to create alternate endings to their oddly artful piece o' cinema.
