2. Can we just put the tsunami donations on eBay?
Then we can all watch the number get driven higher.

3. Man of the year, 2005
That fellow from the UN who made the comment that wealthy countries should do more. He has singlehandedly shamed the world's powers into upping their contributions by nearly a billion dollars and counting.

6. Narcissism
Of course Bush and the repubs thought that the statement was only directed at them. What a bunch of small men and women.
