relief
So normally I would not post 2 blogs on the same day as I want to give everyone out there in blogland a chance to read my blog and post their wonderful comments.
But there is something that is near and dear to my heart and I need to let you know about it.
As you all know, unless you have been living under a gigantic rock for the last 2 weeks, a Tsunami of the largest magnitude slammed into Indonesia, Asia, and Africa after a 9.0 earthquake shook the foundation of the earths crust many many feet under the Pacific Ocean.
With several thousands still missing and over 140,000 proclaimed dead. It is one of the worst natural disasters ever.
This disaster has brought the celebrities out in droves to support charity organizations trying to help the survivors. Leonardo D. has appeared at fundraisers as well as donated a "sizable" amount of money, Sandra B. donated 1 million dollars, Michael Schumacher (the worlds highest paid sports star, formula 1 world champion for those who don't know who he is.) donated 10 million dollars to the reflief.
And then there is the man, the legend, the great one himself Bill Gates, Billy G, to those of us that know him personally. The richest man on the planet with over 40 Billion dollars in net worth. He decided to help out, and do you know how he did? by donating an amazing 3 million dollars. Yes folks you read that right 3MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!.... Wait 3 million dollars? A sports star donated more then 3 times that and Michael S doesn't have 1 Billion in the bank.
Though seeing as I have not been able to donate any money myself as of yet I should not talk so I will shut up now.

You think Gates' donation laughable? Check out this snipet, courtesy Jack Mercer.
What are you going to do, they are French they're so used to BEING the ones that need the world's aid that they can't quite figure out what to do.
Besides the last time they gave aid, $100,000 was probably a lot of money.
