Thank the Lord we got " W "

We're starting to see the knickers of some the big charities, as questions arise about their management of the windfalls from the 9/11 disaster. The Red Cross board of governors has canned the organization's CEO in a disagreement over how the funds should be administered; she had set up a special Liberty Fund specifically for 9/11 relief, but the board, and some of the senior staff, wanted to use big portions of it for their own "infrastructure needs", and something called a campaign for the "promotion of tolerance". In the meantime, news programs are beginning to expose the hardships of survivors whom the funds were intended to benefit, who have yet to see one thin dime of those donations.
I don't know what the solution should be. Confound it, we've even got a similar situation at our church, where donations have been used for unintended purposes: we found out that our contributions to the building fund, and even memorials, have been consumed to meet current expenses, because of a "cash flow problem". I told the preacher if he thinks he's got a problem now, he ain't seen nothin', yet! Credibility is like virginity: once it's gone, there's no callin' it back!
