It's cool to take these chances. It's cool to fake romances.

Who is Chris Hohn?

Anyone? Google him. Tell me what you find.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? I thought so ... but how are we going to get a vacuum hose, three Pez dispensers, and a pair of velcro Roos at this hour?

Anyway, Chris Hohn (since I doubt you actually googled him you lazy bastards) is a fairly unknown man. Obviously he is a very shrewd businessman as he is very, very wealthy. But if you read here you find that he has somehow become Britain's biggest charity donor. In fact, he has donated much more money than he is worth through The Children's Investment Fund Foundation that he founded.

I have no idea if this is to offset an odd sin of eating puppies while looking at pictures of clubbed penguins or something. He may be evil as hell. However, he steps up to the plate and does what he knows how to do best for charity ... get money. I am not big on just donating money to a problem, I generally think that way for when the money is small. This is ridiculous.

Hopefully the projects the money go to, you know, actually help the people. There is a huge problem of money flooding into these poor countries with serious stipulations and red tape attached. Which can lead to the people not getting what they actually need or want. Or it sets up a system in which the people become dependent on the outside sources of food or income instead of helping them learn the skills they need to survive on their own. Sadly, charities often ensure that they will forever be needed in certain areas. Not on purpose, but in practice.

Enough of this digression. Hats off to Mr. and Mrs. Hohn.

Sidenote, read this article to see that, allegedly, Warren Bufft is giving his 22 BILLION DOLLAR fortune to charity when he dies. Holy ... Shit. Sadly, that wouldn't even beging to dig our country out of debt, but hey ... still amazing.
