Hypocrisy at the Grammy Awards

-
Sunday night's Grammy Awards show was held in the Staple Center in downtown Los Angeles which, itself, lies mere blocks from the scary, infamous Skid Row. Inside the Staple Center a moving tribute and fundraiser were put front and center for the sake of Wyclef Jean's native Haiti----while just mere blocks away in skuzzy downtown L.A. trolls daily the inhabitants of Skid Row, ignored, destitute, rejected, and possessing nothing, not even, in some cases, sanity. Not a godblessed song was sung for our own wretched poor and homeless. Cry me a river. Charity starts at home. 

I never claim to be a charitable man. In fact I often say I don't have a heart; but I do despise false humility and compassion from whomever it gushes; and I do know that charity starts at home.
