the new american value

In three weeks President Bush will be sworn in again. After the ceremony on the Capital steps there will be a parade, fireworks, and balls. Washington will be a gigantic party. The whole thing will cost somewhere around $50 million.

Right now we have hundreds of thousands of troops in Iraq, fighting, killing, and being killed; attempting to bring order so that the delusion that elections will be held in a month can die a little bit slower. Daily, we spend $167 million killing and opressing people.

The earth shakes, tsunamis form, and tens of thousands of people die...we send over $35 million (the cost of fighting in Iraq a whole five hours) and the president waits three days to say anything, thus becoming one of the last world leaders to make any sort of statement, send any sort of condolences. I mean, I know these people have brown skin and many are Muslim and are therefore our "enemy" as far as public policy goes, but this is going way too far. Hell, even the evil pharmecutical corporation Pfizer can donate $35 million.

Gee, I wonder why the world hates us?
