The 40 million dollars is largely made up of corporate donations that the Bush Administration solicited. I'm (generic "I") not "telling" anyone how to spend their hard-earned money. Throw a party. Nephythys is absolutely right in that I'd have thrown a party if Bush lost the election. But it's certainly within my rights to criticize wasteful expenditures by the government. I don't care if it's tax money or private donations, it's still incredibly wasteful spending by our government when a war that the Bush administrastion created has caused so much damage and financial need. It's obscene that a catastrophe of the magnitude of the tsunami disaster can't have every last penny and ounce of manpower from the world because of that war. I posted real links to real information current as of 1/21/05. None of them were Michael Moore.
You can throw a really amazing party for a couple hundred thousand dollars. I mean an AMAZING party. 40 million dollars is in another universe, it's the kind of money that can change worlds for people. And it was squandered.
