Oh yeah, I'm sure we were a little stingy. The O'Reilly Factor dudes were saying that the people were blaming us for the tsunami though.

Yeah, also according to Bill O'Rielly everyone outside of the US blames the US for everything. Next week he's doing a show about how the French claim that a puppy died because the US doesn't enjoy crepes as much as they should. I wouldn't be surprised if it really was a complaint about the aid package and the NO SPIN ZONE! spun it into something completely different.

116,000 dead!?!?!? Holy shit, that's like twice the number of Americans that died in Vietnam.

Yeah this is fucking sad. Why isn't this being talked about? Maybe it is, I just haven't been watching the news or anything the past few days, but usually everyone knows about something this massive.

Death Toll may reach 400,000 in Indonesia alone

Seriously, if you can, give a little something to one of the organizations listed above. 400,000 people is like the entire city of mesa being wiped off the map - this is probably the largest natural disaster in terms of human lives that we'll ever witness, so please help out a little if you have the means.

The Red Cross got a little financial help (and a company match) from the Big Poppa family this morning.

Well son, hurry up and finish school. You've already cut your hair. Get a job with a nice pair of golden handcuffs like I'm wearing right now. You don't even notice them at first . After a few years, they hurt like a mutha. But the 401k and health benefits and occassionally another little perk like matching gifts come with it. You'll have a little Migfamily and a big Migmortgage and, well.....sorry about that....


Mig, I am just kidding...I think that every little bit helps and I am glad to hear you helped.


BTW, stay in school forever. Being a grown up sucks.

[glitterbot]

you know, i just got to thinking that my above sentiments regarding crepes probably seem pretty f-ing cold and insensitive in a thread about hundreds of thousands of people dying. i am sorry. seriously. i do care, i did donate, and I do feel horrible about this tragedy.

[woodman]

yeah right - you're a cold-hearted snake.
