Bono is putting in his two cents. I mean 1.2 percent. Maybe he'll be the Supreme High Commander of Faux Aid.
London Daily Mail Online:

Bono's anti-poverty foundation ONE is under pressure to explain its lavish salaries after it was revealed that only a small percentage of money it raises reaches the needy. The non-profit organisation set up by the U2 frontman received almost £9.6m in donations in 2008 but handed out only £118,000 to good causes (1.2 per cent).

Everywhere U2 plays, they paralyze traffic for a 10-mile radius. They helicopter in and out. I sat on Interstate 64 for two and a half hours once, with no warning and no explanation. The police certainly chased people going onto the woods to relieve themselves, though, believe me. Finally heard on the radio that U2 was playing at the U.Va arena.
Celebrities rule, commoners drool.
