Feeling Recession, Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon Raises Less Than Last Year Las Vegas Sun
The Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon may have felt the effects of the recession with this weekend's annual fund-raising event, as the program raised about $1.5 million less than last year, reports the Las Vegas Sun.
The program raised $58.9 million, the story says. It marks just the sixth time in the telethon's history, which officially extends back to 1959, that the show raised less money than in the previous year, the article says.
"I'm heartened by the unique ability of Americans to help others in need, when they themselves are likely struggling financially," Lewis said. Lewis, who has hosted the program for 45 years, was joined by performers including Barry Manilow and Michael Feinstein for the 2 1/2 hour-long show.

There's a major typo above; the telethon is 21 1/2 hours in length.

And if you watch any of it, it seems like 211 1/2 hours...

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

It is cruel, you know, that music should be so stunning. It has the beauty of loneliness of grief: of strength and freedom. The elegance of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.
