What do Alyssa Milano, Sandra Bullock, Lance Armstrong, Gisele Bundchen, the country of Senegal and — very possibly — you have in common?

All — including you — have donated more funds to the Haitian relief effort than oil-rich nations like Saudi Arabia and Iran.

That's right ... if you personally have donated money to help the earthquake-stricken people of Haiti, then you have contributed more money than the governments of Saudi Arabia and Iran, whose combined dollar donation is a big fat zero.

Hmmmm but then look at Hated Israel. Not only are they giving money but they are giving Human Resources and saving lifes. No if the parasite nation of Israel can give all that they have then why can’t the Oil Rich Arab nations give back?

I Know, I Know, I Know!

We’ll help out there, but from now on, we will never donate a cent of aid or trade favors with these other nations. But, that’s all a dream. We are no longer in the position to muscle with money now that Bush and Obama (and many others - Republican and Democrat alike) have put us in debt that totals the gross domestic product of every nation in the world (many of them combined).
