1. Yeah, the real corker is the one that tell how the US government has

a website up asking for donations to rebuild Iraq. As of Friday night they'd gotten $39 in total donations.

Although they're making us pony up 30 billion without the people's approval and a story today says that there's another billion gone missing.

How many billions have gone bye bye without a trace so far. That we know of, that is. 8.8 before the election (I have a sneaky hunch I know where at least some of that went), and another billion now.

Hey, we're almost talking real money.
