  1. Well, I won some cash in an election bet. My ethics don't allow me to
    spend someone else's money on myself so I want to find a legitimate
    charity, hopefully bicycle oriented to whom I can donate the winnings.

    I will double the won amount and return the charity receipt to the
    loser (HAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAHAAHA).

    So can anyone suggest a good tax exempt charity?

    Local to me, but they have the right idea.

    This Christmas alone, 25,000 underprivileged children in the Greater
    Houston Area will receive the surprise of their young lives: an
    undreamt-of visit from Santa and his Elves.

    Fully 20,000 of these kids will get brand-new bicycles.

    Can you visualize 20,000 new bikes?

    That's awesome. I love the story of Durwood Merril and how they have done
    things around Hooks.
    The rest of the country likes to [censored] on Texas, but there are a lot of good
    things that happen down there.

  7. Why not give it all to Tyler's legal fund? I can't think of a better
    cause, can you?

    Anyone involved MLB willing to name an "All-[censored] Team" is OK in my book.

    What did he do in Hooks (other than live there)?

    He founded and ran a charity to help kids and families get through the holidays
    with whatever they needed. He was totally hand s on. Collecting supplies and
    delivering them. One year, and maybe more they rehabbed a bunch of donated
    bikes and got them out to kids.
    Here's a little bit on it, but his book "You're out and you're Ugly too!"
    tells how it came about.
