What’s that old saying? The squeaky wheel gets the most…scrutiny…or something like that. 
Some of you may be wondering why I always pick on groups like the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and NAACP. They turn the spotlight on themselves with their useless whining and complaining, pointing fingers at others while they do little more than organize fancy dinners for their limousine liberal friends.
The CBC, which railed the loudest against the federal government, President Bush in particular, for its “slow” response to help the black victims of Hurricane Katrina, hasn’t given away any of the money purportedly raised to help the evacuees. From CNSNews:
The [Congressional Black Caucus Foundation] CBCF then launched its own relief fund on Sept. 21, with a stated goal of raising $1 million to help Gulf Coast residents rebuild their lives. As Cybercast News Service previously reported, the CBCF claimed immediate success, telling reporters on Sept. 21 that it had already received $700,000 in corporate pledges.
But on Wednesday, exactly three months after the news conference launching the CBCF relief fund, Rice told Cybercast News Service that the Foundation has actually raised “somewhere in the neighborhood of $350 to $400,000.” She added that the distribution of the money would not begin until January or February of 2006 at the earliest.

Why the delay? Don’t be surprised to hear about some lavish, impromptu New Year’s Eve “charity” bash. But you didn’t hear that from me. Meanwhile, evacuees will be in hotels for the holidays.
