Not breaking news, but Yahoo has posted an article from Business Insider (never heard of it) about how Obama has made and invested his own money. LINK

ANYWAY, he donated all the Nobel Prize money, and 100k of it went to the Central Asia Institute, which has been accused of lying and misusing donations. The Greg Mortenson/Three Cups of Tea scandal. ANYWAY, I got burned by them too -- for a considerably smaller donation. So I felt better when I read that people with considerably more informed advisors than I have made the same mistake.

Hopefully some of that money went for schools in Afghanistan.
