I was driving through the Mt. Shasta area today on I5 and stopped for some stuff at a gas station. I saw on the front page of the local paper that their little community is expecting about 50 Katrina evacuee families for the area soon.

From about $6000 that Bosnia Hertznegovia in kicking down all the way up to billions coming from the good people of Kuwait, not to mention all kinds of oil that courageous little tribal state is pitching in, along with several other Middle Eastern countries.<\/p>\n
