That would require work and initiative, traits rarely seen in socialists suffering from victimhood.

Actually, it turns out to be costing $50,000,000 to inaugurate Bush.

I would donate $5 to incarcerate and incinerate him.

Why don't you quote the amount that private Americans have donated to the tsunami fund?
Why don't you quote the amount that the American Gov't has contributed to the tsunami fund?

I agree that 40 million dollars is too much to spend on Pomp and Circumstance and would have benefitted the three examples you quoted, except that I will put Americ ...[text shortened]... at the top of the list because only Americans will support our poor...you sure as hell won't...

You can't go dismissing persistent critics as victims.

For a real victim, see HTTP://rhp-ratings.blogspot.com

America called on Australia for its invasion of Iraq.
Australians died in Bali due to anti-western sentiment.
Australians are at increased risk of terrorism in their homeland.

America makes their business everyone's business.

Lol Stang, I wonder if everyone gave 30.00 for relief, instead of subcribing to chess for one year, how much will that help?

Its our money, we decide what it does, as with Bush's money, Why pick on Bush? why not Bill Gates? lol
Bill Gates is charitable.
George Bush is a liar, a war monger and a threat to the security of the world.

Over US$40M is about to be spent on celebrations for Bush's election. Wouldn't this be better spent helping people like the following ?

- Victims of the tsunami disaster
- Innocent civilians suffering in Iraq (see HTTP://rhp-ratings.blogspot.com)
- America's own poor

What's your thoughts ?
True. But on the other hand, it is $40 million less to spend on bombing Iraqi civilians.

This whole thread seems a bit silly. But then so does "inaugurating" a chief chimp. The only thing stupider might be people who hate for the sake of hating because they have short appliances.

I think your RHP subscription money could feed a Kenyan family of 4 for a month. I don't see anyone complaining about how easy it is for the West to raise money for the Tsunami, yet how difficult it has been to raise $5 million to feed the starving in Africa.
