I have long been a supporter of the Salvation Army. Founded by William Booth in 1865 in London, it is a wonderful organization that does a great work for those facing impoverished circumstances and/or disaster. It is one of the few organizations that seems to be untainted by corruption. I never pass a red kettle during the Christmas season without putting in a few dollars.
This year, the Army has introduced a new convenience for those who wish to contribute to the kettle campaign -- they'll be taking credit cards. I have no problem with that. The Army had an unveiling ceremony of the new "cashless kettles" in Dallas. Guess who was given the honor of introducing this Christian organization's innovation? Two scantily-clad Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
Do you hear that noise? It's General William Booth spinning in his grave.
