Moore said to Jon Stewart last night the Bin Laden Family had invested
Over one and a half billion dollars into the Bush family enterprises. Mind boggling. How could people go through that amount of money?

1. How about over $800,000,000,000
invested by the Saudis in our economy, amounting to 7% of the total economy.

Remember when everyone was freaking out in the 80s because the Japanese were buying up Rockefellar Center and other chunks of America? Funny how the Saudis doing the same has had...er...a different kind of response.

3. Over 30 years and the figure included friends. Wish I had friends
like that. Then again, I couldn't stand to hang out in those circles.

4. But you know what struck me when I heard that today?
ONLY 1.5 billion? Over 30 years, divided among the Bushes and all their "friends"? I actually would have expected more.
