Idol Gives Back

Year two of Idol Gives Back...what a night!  I don't think my eyes were dry for more than five minutes during the show.  The performances and the appearances by actors and other stars were all great but the show stood out for other reasons for me. 

Seeing the impoverished and impossible conditions that FAR too many of the world's children live in put all my petty little problems in perspective.  As a mother it breaks my heart to think of children going to bed with an empty stomach or suffering from disease.  It was a very emotional and realistic  look at the condition of the poor and disinfranchised.

It's very moving to see people dig into their pockets and give to children they might never know.  Times are tough for most folks in this economy and it's hard to go to the grocery store or fill your car up today.  Still people gave.  Makes me proud to be an American.

What a joke. What a fantastic scam to get stupid people to call and donate THEIR money. Here's an idea. Let's have a show where Rupert Murdoch is held up by his feet and all those millions he has is shaken out of him and give THAT money to ''starving children''.
