"Yawn... Would someone please call the roll
for the Representative from the Daily Dish?"
As AS continues his wild ride against the HRC, here are some new figures I've dug up that make me want to go back to Andrew's favored charties list again.
By the way, I wonder if the HRC is going to ask AS just how many "Conservative Soul" books he's sold, or if he would think that was rude. "We'll" find out.
Sadly, it's starting to look like maybe things have gotten to the point where it is really time to push conservatives along to their own ... strategies AND organizations. Hey, but wait, they started a purely partisan lobby organization themselves (Log Cabin Republicans?), in name at least, yet some carp about the HRC's bias!
Whatever. And by that I mean it's not clear where the effort needed to disentangle the internacine bitching from the honest criticsm approaches negative returns, but I somehow feel like I've passed the last sane off-ramp on a downhill slope.
On to the figures:
GLSEN, Inc., shows its Exec Director was paid $162,000 and two others over $100K.
Now the interesting bits.
Their travel expense for 2004 was $656,868. That's about $3,300 per working day ...
I've also been looking into the "flexible" accounting that non-profits use. GLSEN offers up the salary transparency above, but there are ways around it. They put this in their footnotes, indicating that it was gratis:
GLSEN, INC. Leases their employees from ADP. GLSEN remits payments to ADP for personnel services and ADP is responsible for paying these individuals, related taxes and benefits. Accordingly, no salary, personnel benefits and taxes are reflected in the accompaning [tax] return. However, for additional disclosure, the six hghest paid employees with title and salary are as follows:
