I was being sarcastic of course, but the $147,000 per day refers to Exxon Mobil CEO Lee Raymond. (According to this it was only $144K/day).

If you are going to link something, maybe it should at least reference something relating to what you are talking about in that context. What does the EE have to do with Cray? The wikipedia article does not mention them.

For instance, John F Kennedy.. I'm sure he had emotions. What does that have to do with anything?

Um, Perhaps you should RTFA, too, buddy.

as of now, amazon claims to have collected $2,120,581.09. the us federal government pledged $35 million while the entire eu pledged $4 million. overall, nations pledged "at least $102 million" (see first link). amazon alone has collected over 50% of the eu's pledge and 2% of total aid pledged by all nations. i wonder what the red cross has collected (without amazon), as well as unicef, cidi, etc. i imagine that compared to the $102 million, private collections are NOT insignificant.

if you think that immediate response is insignificant compared to long term initiatives, then you are insane. while long term initiatives are important, people eating TODAY is more important than any long term aid. if you disagree, i challenge you to live out of a destroyed mud hut, drink dirty water and eat only what you find on the side of the road knowing that in a few weeks/months/years things may be better. see how much consilation that is...

"The scramble to find replacement units for Iraq duty is stark testimony to just how thinly the 480,000-strong U.S. Army is stretched.

Of the Army's 33 active-duty brigades, 21 are deployed overseas -- 16 in Iraq, two in Afghanistan, two in South Korea, and one in Bosnia. All but three of the rest are either preparing for one of those missions, recovering and retraining after one of those missions or held in reserve. " Story here

So maybe this will be enough to piss everybody off. --There's already a scandal brewing on the back-burner about Bush's lying to congress. There's the crappy shape of the economy, thanks to Bush's complete mis-management. And there's the fact that he's an ex-coke head who can't even talk properly without making a hundred and one creepy Freudian slips. (I lost my link, but there are long lists of his verbal screw-ups all over the web. Go look. It's just crazy!)

Of course, if things get really bad, all Bush need do is punch that big red button and call down a state of emergency, and that's the end of the show. Democracy over, bub. Welcome to the new Amerika.

However, this Howard Dean guy. . .

Looks bright and new. He's saying all the right things. --While he was governor, he managed to keep Vermont out of deficit while the rest of the country went to shit. He's openly criticizing Bush's stupid war on Iraq, (a war which is getting a couple of kids killed every day. --And those are just the official numbers.) People are losing faith in Bush, and Dean sounds like a good guy. He's also talking about some social welfare reform which all the millions of people too broke to afford medical coverage, might just perk up enough at the sound of to head in droves to try out those new DieBold machines. . .

Problem is, Dean is also being backed by the Zionists. (Now, please, moderators, curb your knee-jerk desire to mod me into dust at the first sound of Jewish conspiracy, and at least finish reading this. There's no hate here or Trollish nonsense. Just listen). . .

A man named, Steve Grossman, is Howard Dean's head of campaign Fundraising.

What does that mean? I'll tell you:

Steve Grossman was ALSO the president, -not just some pamphleteer, but the president- of one of the most powerful Israeli lobby groups in the entire world, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

Steve Grossman shed his official Democratic posts in 1992 when members of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee elected him as their president. Now, Grossman has co

The nuclear material is usually well protected in metal cylinders, which are also quite nice for use as scrap. In one documented case, the scrap ended up in table legs.

It was only discovered after a truck that had contained the tables passed through a detector at a control point after making an unrelated delivery as Los Alamos. There have been similar documented incidents of contamination in Brazil, Thailand and Turkey as well as others.

I'm not bothering to post all the links. There are too many.
