Toys R' Iraq

I meant to mention this earlier, but you know how it is with a new job and all (unless you've never had a job, or are perhaps unemployed from your first job - but believe you me, when you do get that first job, or the next one, it's going to feel good - woohoo! Three cheers for you, Mr. or Mrs. Future Productive American!).

*ahem*

Anyway, check out Operation Give:

Operation Give was founded as a not-for-profit corporation in answer to a call from a soldier stationed in Iraq, known affectionately as Chief Wiggles. His request? To send toys and other goods to help the children he encountered every day in Iraq. Operation Give is grass-roots, non-partisan, volunteer-driven, and non-political. All we want to do is help children of Iraq in their recovery from years of depredation, and make the world a better place.

If you have toys or other appropriate goods you want to send to Iraq, we can help you figure out how to get them there. If you want to give money, we'll use your money to ship more kid stuff to Iraq. If you have an organization that would like to help promote our efforts, we can help you with that as well.

So, that's right - Matt Moore, load up your Barbies; Steve Green, send over that Play-Doh Martini set; Zombyboy, stop hugging and kissing on your inflatable Mark Lanegan doll and give him to someone in need.

This concludes today's public service announcement.
