OT - Help for Haiti

This just passed the House and Senate and is on its way to the President: "Under the bill, anyone making a charitable contribution after January 11th and before March 1st to victims of the earthquake in Haiti would be permitted to claim these charitable contributions on their 2009 tax return." This might provide incentive for people who hate the commercial appeals or can't understand why anyone would want to help. Mod Edit: Preemptive freeze on comments due to the general reactions the last few days.
