Anything that cares for animals AND gets me in good with Sarah McLaughlin gets my attention. She’s hot.

> I hate those fucking Shriners, St. Jude and Wounded Warrior commercials!! Every fucking time there is a commercial break, you are guaranteed to see one or all of them before the program continues. Using retarded fucked up kids and fucked up veterans to mooch money. Way to go fucktards!! I betcha only one or two percent goes to the fucked up kids and vets. The rest goes to the rich fat cats. Won’t give anything to these greedy moochers!!! And no I wouldn’t wuv a bwanket!!!

You must be a joy to be around.

For those wondering, this zombie was raised by a troll whose post (and comments on it) have been removed.

I see the assets are listed as in excess of 7 billion dollars – but that would include the value of their hospitals, land, buildings, and contents, so that’s nowhere near as excessive as it seems. Presumably they also have a portfolio of investments to generate income for their programs and to fund pension expenses.
