17. US ups relief amount

The US has actually upped its donation to about $35 million -- or about what will be spent on Bush's inauguration next month. And while that is coming from private donations, it still looks bad.

Compare that $35 million to the $226 million being wasted every single day in Iraq (650 days and a cost of at least $147,000,000,000) -- or 1/5 of 1% of the total cost of the invasion.

Just what Jesus would have done, I'm sure.
