'Tis the season of giving in the 'burgh; that said will my 2015 giving spirit actually go to help the youths of Cleveland, Ohio??
...
My art guy (Grant) used to live in Cleveland. He's my insider, got his finger on the pulse of hot-button issues affecting the good(?) people of the Mistake by the Lake. But when he told me that the area charity devoted to helping kids get into the arts was called "The Human Fund" I was literally shocked. Is it possible that these kind souls were so dense that they didn't realize they named their charity after one of the funniest Seinfeld gags in one of the most memorable episodes of the greatest sitcom of all time?
If I've learned anything from writing Downtown Email Brown it's that I routinely overestimate the people of Cleveland, OH in terms of self-awareness.. let's go to the clip:

Caroline: pretend I made this donation in your name
It has a certain under-stated stupidity..
