A silver lining in the Madoff Scandal
Southern Appeal — Courtesy of Ramesh Ponnuru : Salon reports  that the Picower Foundation, a Madoff client that went under, “was one of a handful of foundations willing to stick their necks out and significantly fund the three organizations that handle virtually all major reproductive rights-related litigation and legal advocacy in the United States. Now the Center for Reproductive Rights needs to make up a $600,000 shortage in 2009; Planned Parenthood is out $484,000; the ACLU’s Reproductive Freedom Project is off $200,000.” (via Mark Shea ) Yeah, cry me a freakin’ river.
