Wake me up? Or not...

This proves that we are existing in some bizarre twilight-zone cartoon version of reality: Bush plea for cash to rebuild Iraq raises $600.

It is understood to be the first time that a US government has made an appeal to taxpayers for foreign aid money. Contributors have no way of knowing who will receive their donations or even where they may go, after officials said details had be kept secret for security reasons.

Okay, we are already borrowing money from China and whoever else to fund the war because Bush's "base", the mega-rich, received tax cuts up the wazoo, and now they have the nads to ask us to pay more, voluntarily? With no accountability at all? Ha ha ha! That is so totally Bush!
