Pakistan Flooding

Life sucks in much of Pakistan, with massive flooding, rivers swelling to fifteen times their normal size, homes washed away, millions of refugees, a growing epidemic of cholera and other forms of infectious acute watery diarrhea, a government that many believe to be duplicitous and corrupt, and a profound reluctance by Westerners to donate to people that live in a country where the United States spends time and money killing alleged terrorists with drone aircraft. If you want to help, a multinational and nonpartisan organization that is on the ground providing relief, the United Nations Refugee Agency, would be glad to accept your donation. Consider visiting the UN Refugee site here. Frankie the cat thanks you.
