I've noticed, as though for the first time, the tendency for the press to almost appear to want things to get worse so their stories get better. The media was breathlessly announcing the latest death tolls in the recent tsunami and eagerly predicting that the number would continue to rise. I think even their biggest hopes were exceeded. They were expecting the numbers to rise solely from disease, but it appears the direct deaths outnumbered even the biggest predictions.

So, the ghouls in the press have been slavering over the scenes of destruction while the anti-American UN has been goading us to give more money.

And beyond the untold millions of dollars given by private US charities, the US federal government has again pandered to our enemies in the UN and in the Islamic world and has donated, not the initial $35M, but $350M. Look for more of our money to be wasted as the UN goading continues.

See the man in Osama Bin Laden t-shirt? He's getting part of that $350M.



The only good news about this $350M is that President Bush has refused to put it under control of the UN. For this we can be thankful. Maybe the terrorist wannabes will at least not wear their bin Laden t-shirts when sucking off the American teat.

I am compassionate for the decent people that have had their lives destroyed, but I hope that we can use intelligence and sense in ensuring that the storm that destroyed so many of our friends and even fellow countrymen is not used in an underhanded way to funnel funds to our enemy.
