Ain’t too proud to beg

An Oregon man has been waiting a year for a kidney. Now he’s begging by the side of the road.

He has a Facebook page — Earl Needs a Kidney.

This would be a good time to sign up as an organ donor.

About the blogger

Bob Collins

bcollins@mpr.org • @newscut

Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
