This is the 56th Carnival of Hurricane Relief. The first was hosted by Glenn Reynolds at the urging of Hugh Hewitt with the support of N.Z. Bear in direct response to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast.
A Squidoo Lens is a way to organize online information.
The first payment to a charity
—24¢ to the Grameen Foundation USA —
was paid out last week!
We encourage Gulf Coast charities to register with Squidoo
and let CoHR know so they can get their own 24 cents.
Hosts are needed! Posts are needed! Pictures are needed!
See the CoHR homepage for details. See also N.Z. Bear’s Katrina Relief Community and Web Relief Directory — and the portal, Relief Connections.
Between them, N.Z. Bear and Glenn Reynolds have also launched PorkBusters, to push the effort to fund Katrina’s bill by cutting expenditures in the federal budget. Pull out your pig-stickers and check out N.Z.’s PorkBusters page!

Do you find news here worth reading? Do you agree (or disagree) with my slant on that news? Buy me a cup of coffee! My recipe for a daily cup: 8 ounces of 2% milk, 2 shots of espresso, 4 shakes of ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons chocolate syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a topping of light whipped cream. Drop a tip in my jar — whatever amount you want, whatever amount you think I've earned.
