Capital One will be performing the same duty for this weekend's tsunami telethon that they did after 9/11: manning the phone banks for donations. Like most large financial services institutions, they handle thousands of phone calls daily, which makes them ideally suited for a task such as this one. Thousands of volunteers will be trained to work the phones for this charitable event.

In a related story, it appears that George Clooney and Bill O'Reilley have kissed and made up, at least for this one event. The reconciliation did have its hiccups, though: apparently Clooney sent a demand for an immediate yes or no that arrived a couple of hours after O'Reilley had already accepted. Oh well, it's not like the two will be spending weekends and holidays together.
