And We Wonder Why the Rest of the World Thinks We're Frivolous and Greedy

What the current (and future) administration thinks is a worthwhile expenditure of money is compared here to the announced $35 million in tsunami relief aid. So much for compassionate conservatives.

And while I do not claim to be a member of any religious organization other than the theatre, I also do not claim (as does the President) that Jesus is my favorite philosopher. On the other hand, I find the following quotation from the bible to support my own beliefs pretty strongly.

James, chapter 2, verses 14-17:

What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Mr. President, why don't you put our money where your mouth is?
