#3 delivered just $1,392 of the roughly $31,000 it raised

Approximately $29,600 in administrative expenses. Sadly, that is not unusual for non-profit aid organizations.

#4 Some charity made it, as I watched some guy yarn a story then walk out of the paid-for hotel and into the escilade with the dealer tags still on.

But look at the bright side New York, here in a couple years when help Haiti stuff is exposed this won't seem like much money a'tall.
