Forbes wrote that Arafat has "feasted on all sorts of funds flowing into the PA, including aid money, Israeli tax transfers, and revenue from a casino and Coca-Cola bottler.

And the US continues to feed this beast with our tax dollars. And people wonder why I'm disgusted with our government...

New Finance Minister Salaam Fayad is cleaning up the PA's finances, cutting off much of Arafat's cash flow."

Another case of 'closing the barn door after the horse has gone.'

Is the Reverend Jesse Jackson on the official list or on the rogue list? Enquiring minds want to know!

Things are rough all over. Imagine Bill Gates having to struggle along on only $40 billion.

And speaking of rogue fortunes, how much do we suppose bill & hill have in Swiss bank accounts? I've always assumed around $2 or 3 billion, but maybe that's a lowball figure if a putz like Arafat is in that league.

Castro with $110 Million Dollars is the most curious item to me. How about him giving some back to his starving comrades? Isn't personal wealth a crime in comunist countries?
