Waste Happens
I like the Media Research Center. In fact I recall sending a MRC link to Nancy Nall after she claimed that NPR's Nina Totenberg was a centrist. They do good work, and had I made a donation it would be inadvertently funny because then I would have supported both the plaintiff and defendant in this case.
Actually I would've supported the lawyers for the plaintiff and defendent. But rather than feel angry I could just say that lawyers spend money too and that's what keeps the economy going. There's a line in a Murakami novel about profligate waste being the engine for capitalist societies and I can think of little more profligately wasteful than the lawsuit linked above. But I vaguely recall from a college economics course that the faster money changes hands the better. We certainly wouldn't want the bishops or the MRC hoarding all that filthy lucre.
