Pawn Star Rick Harrison Turns Tabloid Reporter

From the Las Vegas Sun:
Three years in for “Pawn Stars.” And I thought it would only last maybe a season, if we were lucky. I have been fortunate enough to be on David Letterman, Jay Leno and soon Jimmy Kimmel, as well as most of the national morning shows. It has been and continues to be a journey.
Some of the highlights for me this year: Getting engaged to an amazing lady and getting three almost stepdaughters (I have three sons, so we are the modern-day Brady Bunch). I have never had daughters -- this is all new to me -- but I am loving it. Nothing like a little girl making you feel like a hero. I took my youngest son Jake to meet Big Time Rush a few times; he is a huge fan, and that was a preview for me.

then Harrison goes and talks about the charaties the store has donated to: 
Our new charitable giving initiative (where the Bieber donation dollars came from) is one of the things we are really enjoying at Gold & Silver Pawn. We allocate funds each month to one or more charities here in Las Vegas and support everyone from Opportunity Village to military charities, from Help of Southern Nevada to JDRF, from Susan G. Komen to the Justin Timberlake Shriner’s Open, from Tiger Jam to Three Square, from St. Baldrick’s to the Girl Scouts, from Speedway Children’s Charities to the American Heart Association, and everyone in between, including the Clark County Museum (Mark Hall Patton -- our expert’s workplace!), gets a little help because of our success and our wanting to pay it back, if you will.
We even found out through our Facebook fans that they had charities they needed help with, and now we are giving to charities our Facebook fans suggest each month, too (these are anywhere in the U.S.). Friend us on Facebook at GSPawn.com to get your charity on our radar, and help us reach our goal of 1 million Facebook fans -- we have a long way to go (we just reached our immediate goal of 100,000!).
Another greedy 1%er.
It's nice to see a local small business grow and then give back to the community.  And if President Obama, Harry Reid, Dina Titus and Shelly Berkley had their way, they would want to raise their taxes big time.  And will happen next?  Less money for charity and perhaps even fewer employees.
But it seems like Rick has his head out of the sky and his feet are planted on the ground and has not gotten too big of an ego, so it's nice to see him get ahead in a dirty business.
