So the following countries have offered relief aid for the survivors of Hurricane Katrina: Canada, France, Germany, England, Australia, the usual U.S. supporters. Austria, Japan, Russia, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Greece have sent offers, too. But did you know that the great big rich United States is receiving offers of assistance from Mexico, Israel, Hungary, China, South Korea, Colombia and Venezuela? Now it’s getting embarassing. Honduras, Colombia and Jamaica have also offered to send relief aid to help OUR U.S. citizens. We’ve even received pledges of relief funds from Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka. And the Dominican Republic. And El Salvador.

I’m imagining Switzerland turning to the Netherlands and saying, “Hey, over in America thousands are suffering from having no drinking water. We’d better do something!” I’m imagining El Salvador turning to Honduras and saying, “Can you believe it’s been four days since the hurricane passed and those people still have no food? We’d better get busy. I’ve got five dollars in my pocket, how much do you have?”

Jesus Christ on a stick…
