It’s a Poverty Extravaganza!

I’ve been invited to a poverty conference tomorrow. Those two words together made me groan. When I mention it to any of the neighbors, the make that almost laugh exhale puff, because it is that close to being funny. I’m sure this is being conducted in New Orleans, because of the horrendous poverty exposed by the levee breech, but New Orleans residents have had too close a look at nonprofit world. They are launching a website as part of the event. Yes, website. Take that poverty! Poverty is an industry. This sounds like a trade show.

    Because anything can be combatted with a website, something to which the poor ironically do not have access. Sounds like WebPuffery 2.0 to me.
