THREE HOURS LEFT…
…to contribute to the Hurricane Katrina Blog for Relief fund, which ends at midnight tonight.
See who’s raising what here.
Log your contribution here.
Special thanks to the 253 readers of this blog who have donated $36,269 to my recommended charity, Mercy Corps, and many other worthy groups so far.
Ok, the rest of you: Dig deep and pick a great charity. The victims of Katrina can’t and shouldn’t depend on the government alone. Help all you can.

Chuck Simmins has the latest total estimated tally on Americans Helping Americans: $401,938,382.
Chuck also sends this article from the Chronicle of Philanthropy:
Americans have given at least $404 million to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The pace of giving is unprecedented in recent American history. In the 10 days after September 11, Americans donated $239 million to charitable causes, and in the 9 days after the tsunamis hit, major American relief groups raised $163 million…
How’s that for stingy, eh?
