Gormogon Advent Calendar - Day 22

We’re in the final stretch of the advent season and it is a time to be generous. Generous with your spirit, your hospitality and your charity. So today’s advent door is a door into some of the charities that your Gormogons favor. If you’re looking for a charity to support, take a minute and check one of these out. You’ve probably heard of many of them. The Gormogons recommend that you donate wisely – there are many solicitations made these days for various “charities” that don’t qualify for a tax deduction. GorT recommends doing some research – a great site to use is: Charity Navigator. It breaks down the charities pretty well so you can evaluate whether you’d like to support them or not.

Today’s charities are:
The St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (a favor of our resident surgeon, Dr. J)
The American Heart Association (also a Dr. J favorite)
St. Labre Indian School (a favorite of the Volgi)

Americans are a generous people and, in GorT’s opinion, government programs are largely inefficient in supporting the true needy, both here and abroad. Furthermore, GorT firmly believes in subsidiarity and organizations that are closest to the needy are the ones to best address their needs.

While we’re on charity, I did find this video amusing when considering the “needy” OWS folk:

GorT

GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
