On Komen foundation kerfuffle

Kerfuffle is such a cool word. I'm glad its been given new life via internet.

Susan G Komen foundation has been written about on blogs before this dust up with dropping grants to PP and then changing their mind.

So I had an apriori impression of SGK as being more worried about protecting "their brand" than fighting cancer, before the whole kerfuffle. Thus I have Zip, Zero, Nada sympathy for SGK with the Lefty shrieking blowback about cutting grants to Planned Parenthood because PP is under investigation for re-directing funds towards abortions.

I rather hope that all conservative types feel like they were baited and switched with the rapid reversal and decide to never ever donate to SGK again in any form; and all the liberals, that have "donated to" SGK via walks, bike or horseback rides, ribbon sales etc where the libs get the ego stroking and contribute some funds where they normally wouldn't part with any of their own money for charity, cuz they just expect government should pay for such things will also drop out because even with SGK quickly backing down the SGK image is no longer cool with their lefty crowd.

Maybe people will then donate those funds formerly given to SGK to groups that are more focused on actually defeating cancer in various forms than SGK ever seemed to be. Other outfits have walks, rides etc too so SGK is not the only game in town to "donate to" by paying an expensive entry or collecting sponsors to join a big group doing an activity you enjoy anyway for "the cause"

I'm probably more inclined than non red-heads to be a vindictive beeotch about things like this though.
