I see this girl going nuts trying to get out of a house.</s>TAPPER: Hero Charles Ramsey is now going to be getting free burgers for a year from McDonald's. McDonald's also says it donated $10,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in the names of Amanda Berry, Gina Dejesus, and Michelle Knight, the three women Ramsey helped to escape. Also according to the "Cleveland Plain Dealer," more than a dozen northeast Ohio restaurants have promised Ramsey a burger any time he stops in for the rest of his life. The restaurant where Ramsey works as a dishwasher even named a burger after him, a play off a Big Mac. Well, at least it still does the job, right?
