For years, no one gave a damn about Haiti. When Wyclef took a further interest in his homeland and set up the Yele Haiti organization, no one gave a damn still. Now that disaster has struck and Wyclef’s call for aid to the country has yielded $2 million in a short amount of time, everyone [...]

Be careful where you donate your money everyone. You want it to actually help people. The Smoking Gun has raised some questions about Wyclef Jean's charity, Yele. It appears that his foundation has been irresponsible at the least. Maybe there's a good explanation and I'm sure that he intends to do the right thing with the money since he's been helping out in Haiti. But in the meantime, I'd stick with...

In the rush to report on Haiti's catastrophic earthquake, it's understandable that the media is going to make mistakes. Heck, this photo from the 2008 Chinese earthquake , which the Daily News included in a slideshow of 54 images from Haiti today, was probably tossed in by some hapless, unpaid photo intern. An intern who must be destroyed. Hat tip to the NY Post editor who altruistically pointed this...

My intention this morning was to post yet another entry in The Rap Sheet’s ongoing Friday blog series highlighting great but forgotten crime novels. However, since all but a couple of diehards seem to be taking this New Year’s Day off from that series, and most readers are probably avoiding their computers today, hunkered down instead before televised football games with friends or recovering...

Disc Five of this collection of tenor saxophonist John Coltrane's recordings as a sideman for the Prestige label is the final one in this package, beginning with a very interesting album under the leadership of the tuba player Ray Draper. During the days of early jazz, tuba was a common instrument until it was displaced by the upright bass in the 1930's. Draper was far from a dusty relic, he was a...
