Pissing Into The Wind

Are we stingy? We've been guilted by the liberal and Jewish-(mother-)dominated press into pledging $350 Million towards Tsunami relief. As near as I can figure, this is approximately the same amount it costs us to be in Iraq for 74 seconds. (twice in a row)

President Bush has made it clear, though, that any more aid is going to come not from the government but form the public. Right. Cause Americans have such great hearts. We being the nationality most able to avoid eye contact with people in squalid living conditions who are yelling at us directly. And we're going to open our hears and our pursestrings for victims that had the beachfront property we all secretly wish we could have instead of this stupid-ass-Ranch-split-level-condo-in-a-gated-community-ohmygod-i-hate-the-burbs.

So, commentators, have at it. Illuminate us. What should we do to help our brethren? Would the response be the same if the wave had hit Western Europe instead of Asia?
