George takes a swipe at Big Bird

[MickeyLumbo]

i have donated to PBS in the past because i love the programing. i watch frequently...in fact several times in the past week. i give when i can...the appeals suck me in and i feel obliged.

following Katrina, i donated a hefty sum to the ASPCA. since that time, the mailings, calendars, t-shirts, and sometimes more than one slick-mailing in a week has me reconsidering donating to non-profits.

i realize the execs need a salary and that they appeal to their "base" of previous donors... but damn... i'd bet the stuff they have mailed me since my contribution nearly negates what i gave.

PBS does sends me mailings every few weeks ... and it is such a waste of money.
