WHERE'S the HOLLYWOOD CROWD?
Does the fact that they're "out of power" exempt
them from contributing to disaster relief?
If the 'Toon were still in office, we'd be seeing
endless press conferences about all the fundraisers
being held by the glitterati...with the 'Toon as
keynote speaker, of course.

Yes, a good liberal is always generous with the other guy's money!

Absolutely - human nature is giving. I certainly don't believe that other countries' aren't giving. I just take umbrage with the attacks on this country period. We spend more in aid than almost all countries combined. I take umbrage with the UN, because we fund 40% of their lunacy.

The Democrats created a welfare state in America and now they want to create one with the rest of the world. What has the New York Times ever contributed other than blarney and to the Democrat Party?

India handles it's own business, the average liberal cannot. That could be why the economy and population of India are both growing as opposed to the EU and The state of Massachusetts.

This incessant need for globalism and internationalism is one thing I don't quite understand the under-workings of.

Don't you just love "President Bush finally roused himself...." Only in the NYT! The beef here is that we didn't send the $$$$$ through the UN channels so they could get their cut of the relief funds! Using the inaugural festivities as measuring stick, is so irrelevant even for the elitist NYT...what an arrogant rag!

40% of all donations in 2004 were from the USA!
As usual, the UN takes time out of it's busy schedule to disrespect the USA. They are more than irrelevant!

Well, few watch CNN anymore. I watch to see what the enemy is doing.
Everytime Egeland opens his stupid mouth, he makes a bigger fool of himself.
So, life is good. Be happy. Don't drink the leftist Koolade. LOL

There was a democratic talking point that went out on just this subject. In the face of tragedy, how best to hit Bush.
I believe the inaugural will cost 2 million less than Clinton's second term inaugural which cost 31 million. Taxpayers fund 12 million of this current inaugural.
The NYT always goes out of their way to get out the democratic talking points.

I was trying really hard not to notice that first sentence. The boss prefers us not to urinate on the computer monitors.

If we were stupid enough to give cash directly to muslim countries, it would be translated into the deaths of our soldiers and our loved ones here in America.

The most generous country is Japan.Overseas aid from the richest countries as follows: Japan 7bn
US 6.9bn
UK 5.6bn
France 5.4bn
Germany 4.5bn

Only until the low dollar rises again, the US will again take the top spot. :)
Just like when California and France always flip flop GDP positions because of fluctuating foreign exchange rates.

This is a disgraceful article.

They are full of crap. It says:
30 December 2004
President Bush finally roused himself yesterday from his vacation in Crawford, Tex., to telephone his sympathy...
They are saying that he made his calls on the 29th, "finally." We were traveling home from Texas on the 27th, listening to the news. Fox news reported then that he had already called 7 nations.

That doesn't count private donations, which we give at probably triple what our government gives. Other nations have little organized private giving.
