    Hey Angelina Jolie- Where are you?

    You know, after seeing the drive by all these celebrities to support "One", and "Live8" and AIDS for Africa while at the same time bashing our president who has been the most philanthropic in terms of money in our history, I wonder where they are now.

    Where is Martin and Charlie Sheen? Where is Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie? Where is Susan Sarando, Tim Robbins, and Alec Baldwin? Where are you Sean Penn?

    My friends and family are literally starving on the Gulf Coast and New Orleans. There is no way into the area, and no way out. There is no electricity for the forseeable future, and worst of all no water. New Orleans and Gulfport/Biloxi are getting most of the coverage, but Bay St. Louis and Waveland took the brunt of the storm. Nothing is coming out of there, and we are worried. The stories that are coming out of there via blogs is horrifying.

    The only big donators who are helping out financially right now are the typical same folks like WALMART. Are we not good enough for you Hollywood? We are your own countrymen.

    Amen brother! There are dreamers and doers... I think that we fall in the latter catagory.

    miss birdlegs-

    i think you are absolutely right, but it looks like they've indeed stepped up to the plate like us mere mortals...

    I sympathise with you.

    I think a lot of those celebrities are hypocrites. They like big visibility projects in the Third World and when it comes to their own countrymen and compatriots, they disdain to assist.
