Bush's inauguration will cost between 30 and 40 million dollars, before the cost of security is added. We have, so far, sent around 15 million dollars in tsunami relief aid. Quite the contrast.

I'm fairly sure we'll send more money over the course of the next month or so. I also think we'd earn a lot of good will if we cancelled the inauguration and put the unspent money towards relief. It would hurt some American companies, yes, but chances are nobody would die of it.

This entry is pretty much just the result of this post and this post in close proximity.

I don't know what should be so expensive. Lets look at the costs:

A big cauldron of boiling oil - $200?
A jug of tar - $20
A large bag of feathers - $10
One of those dunking booths they use at fairs - $500
1 softball for every person in america - $290,000,000

ok, I guess it does start to add up after all. Never mind.
