On 28 December I wrote:
"So far the United States has donated or pledged, mostly through relief
agencies,
$35 million in aid for those areas devastated by the tsunami."
I then went on to contrast this with the amount to be spent on Bush's
inauguration.
In fairness, I should note, as I'm sure everyone is aware, that today the US has
pledged $350 million in relief funds. Whether the inauguration committee will
feel it has to keep up is another matter.
(Sorry, Lawrence, I couldn't resist.)
