Katrina Donations
So, I was just looking at the Hurricane Katrina: Blog for Relief Weekend blog donation leaderboard and I noticed that, apparently, Dummocrats readers have donated over $2 billion dollars.
While I'd love to take credit for such generosity, clearly some jackass just put in a bogus donation or two. I'm pointing the finger at some of our most recent trolls.
I'm really embarrassed and I hope no one thinks that we had anything to do with this. It annoys me to no end that people try to mess up things as good as bloggers' efforts to help Hurricane victims.
Sometimes people just suck.
Update: I emailed NZ Bear and the bogus contribution is already gone. But, the good news is that the effort has legitimately netted over $1.3 million for hurricane relief. I can't help but think how cool it would be if we really did have readers who were so philanthropy inclined.
