(I got this as an email from myradCOOL AND AWESOME friend Rivers
Davis Powell, who supports my blog. Dave got it from someone in
the goverment or something, Department of State. I found it
interesting that none of the European actually gave cash. But I
love Greece's contribution. I thought the Netherland's
contribution was a little haughty. But Sri Lanka
brought tears to my eyes, and I was impressed with Qutar).
