Rants and Poetry of a Tired and Angry Man.

Just what the title says, don't look for anything too profound or earthshaking.

Meanwhile, in the Pacific

For people who aren't so concerned about whiny first world problems, these folks are fairly reputable and traditionally absorb a smaller percentage of their donations for 'operating expenses' than some of the other charities. I don't necessarily buy into the dogma, but they do some good work. And (as I've mentioned a few hundred times on here in recent years) I'll take actions over words any day.

The Salvation Army

These others are old standbys but I've done very little work with them in person so I don't vouch for them personally (do your own research dammit, that's why you have the internet).

Save the Children

World Vision
http://www.worldvision.org/Haiyan
(the link says it's broken but pops up anyway.  Hell if I know why)

The United Nations World Food Program (WFP)

And while I know they don't have the most sterling reputation in some parts of this country, I'll post them anyway because they have name recognition and resources.

The Red Cross (Philippines)
