Laura Bush didn’t even know Katrina’s name

Posted on September 9, 2005 by Bob

Yesterday.  Watch the video.

She called it "Corrina" — twice. 
The second time, you can hear her stumbling, trying to remember the
right name.

This isn’t the pimple kid who delivers pizza.  It’s the thing
that just killed thousands and possibly tens of thousands of people.

What really happens when you lend $25 via Kiva.org to help an overseas mom-and-pop business? I followed my own money all the way to clients in Peru, Nepal, Cambodia, Lebanon, Kenya, and a dozen other countries. Do you really get paid back? And does it really do any good?
