1. Friggin' disgusting

But it is a cultural heritage. /sarcasm/ That is what I have heard from some pundits who are trying to justify the high costs.

2. In that article * says:

"It's important that we celebrate a peaceful transfer of power .... You can be equally concerned about our troops in Iraq and those who suffered at the tsunamis (and) with celebrating democracy," Bush said in a CBS News interview released on Monday.


Transfer of Power???????? WTF???

And......

Companies and individual donors, not taxpayers, are footing the bill for Bush's festivities.

But what about DC's expenses????????

They should have added besides the war and tsunami, all the people in this country who are suffering, homeless, out of work and so many others at the hands of these rich, self centered bastards.
