I'm very sorry to be so "insensitive"... but I've got a bone to pick with my government tonight.
100,000 dead bodies are in Southeast Asia. More will be found.
And Americans, in their infinate kindness, are giving 35 million dollars in aid to the countries affected. How kind.
Oh wait, no. If I were those countries, I'd tell America to go shove it up their ass.
Let's go through the numbers:
1.6 billion dollars = given to Florida in aid for the hurricanes.
45 million dollars = to be spent on George W Bush's inauguration gala.
35 million dollars = 3 hours in Iraq.
So we're giving these people, who have lost a whole generation of children, food, shelter, and water ... we are giving them pennies.
Pennies, of course, to be spent through USAID and therefore, pennies to be spent only on American products. Mmmmn, Halliburton, I smell a deal!
You know, how about we just hold a federal lottery every 3 hours and give out 35 million dollars to a lucky citizen. We can do it for two years and then we'll be at even keel for Iraq. That'd be almost 6,000 new millionaires in America.
I WISH I COULD JUST PUNCH GEORGE IN THE HEAD RIGHT NOW. GIVE THESE PEOPLE MORE MONEY. IT'S MY 13 CENTS A DAY AND I DEMAND IT.
OUR PRIORITIES ARE WAY OUT OF WHACK HERE.
