Bush Says "We'll See ..."

Number of People Dead: >156,000

Australia: $810 million

Germany: $674 million

United States (richest nation in all the world): $350 million

[To put this in perspective, the US has spent over $148 BILLION just so far on the war in Iraq, where over 100,000 people have been killed (Iraqis are people too), not by the sometimes unavoidable wrath of Mother Nature, but by the absolutely avoidable wrath of ... other people. Congress is expecting the White House to soon ask for another $100 BILLION for the war.

And just as point of reference, $10 BILLION to Florida after the hurricanes, where 116 people were killed. Maybe if Jeb was governor of Indonesia? ... ]

Sandra Bullock (star of such classics as Speed and ... Speed 2): $1 million

George W. Bush (worth about $13 million and *cough* president of our great nation): $10,000

Hmm.
