And now. your moment of Zen.


An Indian man cries as he holds the hand of his eight-year-old son, who was killed in a tsunami in Cuddalore, southern India, December 27, 2004. The death toll in a tsunami that slammed into coasts from India to Indonesia topped 22,000 as rescuers scoured the sea for missing tourists and fears of disease grew as soldiers raced to recover rotting bodies.

8. Now I'm hearing 15 million.
And we're still spending more on the fake coronation of a chimpanzee in a suit.

9. "Sorry about that-
"We just found out we don't have enough body armour or reinforced Hummers in Iraq, where we are killing people on purpose. So all our money is tied up in other places. It's ASIA for chrissake. 100k should be MORE that sufficient. After all. They don't feel things the way we do" cheney-bush junta

3. I read yesterday that he offered "unspecified aid."
So it was basically a news bite of him "showing concern," an empty promise that may or may not be followed up on.

I'd like to see him donate the $40 million he's planning to spend on his January 20th coronation.

Won't happen.
