The Devil is in the Donation

Dish donated to Haiti relief. Is it too soon for me to invent a new drinking game for the Golden Globes this Sunday? Every time a star publicly sends their prayers to everyone in Haiti, do a shot. Please excuse Dish's cynicism, but on award shows, overtures about tragedy often seem insincere to me and for publicity purposes (exception, the 9/11 Emmys and SNL). I almost want to skip them because of the potential plastic outpouring. It may get viewers to donate rather than ogle gowns. And George Clooney is organizing a Haiti telethon, after all. (but did he donate at least a million dollars to the effort?)

Who am I kidding: if there were a telethon, Dish would call endlessly, trying to reach Jack Nicholson...or someone linked to George (Julia). Can you tell I'm housing two Dishes--Humanitarian and Stargazer? We'll call the latter "Betsy."

Perhaps TG would appreciate not having Golden Globe sentimental hypocrisy blasting around him. You too could sacrifice (the GGs) and be a "hero." Then you could make a speech about it, compose a song, or write an op-ed. xxxx
