12. I'd agree with most all of that...except that I have to defend my profession somewhat.

starting cancer charities that do nothing but throw parties.


Actually, depending on who you're looking to raise money from and for, gala/event fundraising of this sort can be incredibly rewarding financially for an NPO when done with an experienced and skilled development professional. (I've done gala fundraising before...its less fun and more work than it looks like.)

That said, I have my doubts that Mrs. Kelley is a professional anything and I'd wager that she's not employing any either. Just another socialite dilettante thinking she can live as a party-girl and pass off her partying as social-responsibility.
