Send Stephen Colbert a birthday present
He's asking you to donate to a classroom of his choice for his birthday (May 13) through DonorsChoose.org. You can choose one of his classroom charities and even double your donation through the Bill and Melinda Gate Foundation option.

I donated last year to a high-poverty classroom that wanted a class set of books for a project. To paraphrase the famous poster/bumpersticker, "It'll be a great day when classrooms have all the money they need, and the military has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber."

2. You can never have too many Christian symbols in a Muslim country....
(And the Easter Bunny's a nice touch, too.)
