Where did this cultural loathing of the Red Cross come from, anyway? Did they do something like help some socialist organization recover from a flood back in the '20s? I heard that something like that sandwich story happening after Andrew and of course there's the outrage on the web about the Re...e the Salvation Army was giving it away.

Programs: 91% Fund Raising: 3% Administrative: 5%

Personally, I don't believe that 5% administrative is too bad for a charitable organization with such long logistical legs.
