All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

There's probably a stipulation that no one from the Bush-Clinton fund can mention any of Wal-Mart's competitors (see Paige Arena in Columbia, MO [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Some good news -- my mother's car is largely okay and has been retrieved from New Orleans with nothing worse than a flat tire. My grandparents' house had a little bit of water, but nothing terrible, and most of my other relatives who live in Jefferson Parish made out okay.

If I only had a brain...

That's fine news. I'm glad.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Oh, Dana. That's great news! Yay!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Excellent news, Dana.

Our wings are not tired.

That is so good to hear Dana.

Well, I don't see anything wrong with acknowledging one of the companies that stepped forward first, probably encouraging a lot of others to do the same. Especially in the absence of any federal activity worthy of note.

Oh, I definitely think that the company did some great things, and that $15 million donation is a wonderful amount, especially in light of the fact that they have to answer to their shareholders. However, the family donation of $8 million is what the ThinkProgress people are questioning, especially Bush41's praise of them. I'm guessing we're not going to be hearing much praise from the same quarter when Gates/Hollywood/other wealthy liberal Democrats start ponying up the big bucks.
