Bush League

Finally. 

More than four days after likely more than 100,000 lives were lost all around the Indian Ocean, GWBush, pissy from missing his nap, reluctantly takes a few minutes away from his vacation time at his ranch in Crawford to tell the tv that Americans are generous, not stingy as was alleged by the head of an international charitable organization. 

An administration that has sacrificed more than 1300 American lives, countless Iraqui and Afghani lives, and continues to pour more than six billion dollars each month into the futile War Of Fabricated Circumstances in Iraq and Afghanistan can pledge only 35 million dollars. 

Let's see:  if the US is spending 6 billion each month for the war, that's more than 8 million dollars per hour.  So, for a humanitarian cause, in our name, the administration has pledged a bit more than 4 hours worth of war time.  What an embarrassment.
