Bush's "Place of Light Foundation"

I just caught the tail end of something about Bush on TV and about how he had a fundraiser to raise money for the "Place of Light Foundation" (or this is what I thought I heard). What is this "Place of Light Foundation"?

1. If if is anything like I saw on NOW with Bill Moyers

it would be a charity so republicans can throw big parties.

DeLay has one in the name of CHILDREN. Yep, good ol' boy DeLay exploits children so republicans have big parties at the convention.

They have no shame.

Edit: DeLay's charity is called "Celebrations for Children, Inc." and if you donate big, you get one on one time with top GOP leaders and a portion of the donations goes to paying for parties.

2. Are you sure it wasn't Poppy's "Points of Light Foundation?"

6. Points of Light agencies

OMG, I was just checking out the site and the navigation there says a lot: there is no difference in the agencies that provide faith-based services vs. broader range social services. That's freaky, man.

3. Thanks.

Yeah, it was probably "Points of Light" -- it was in the context of poppy bush. Thanks for the link.

4. Perhaps you heard Points of Light Foundation

Could you have heard Points of Light Foundation instead of Place...?

http://www.pointsoflight.org/ Take a look. You'll see that Papa Bush started this. It seems possible that Shrub might be involved with this as well.

5. Poppy Bush?

Had not thought of him like that, but it does sound plausible since he and Shrub both sound as if they are on something!!:D
