What ever happened to all of the dollars the GOP wanted children to send

[Bandit]

in to them for the Afghanistan children? It was during the Anthrax scare that they put out their request and I have never heard another word about it. How much did they raise and did the children receive any of it. How much was taken out for "Administrative" purposes. How long did it take them to open the envelopes with the money since at that time most government mail was being quarantined?

1. I have a strange feeling

that it had too purposes and results:

It helped shut down the postal service in Washington.

It helped finance some of the more nefarious things going on in Iraq.

2. What money?

There was no money. There was never any money. No children sent in a dollar to help out Afghan children. None at all. No money was received. You're talking nonsense. You must be insane. Or a terrorist. Why are you remembering things?

Got it?

3. Also what happened about

the 700 million referred to in the Woodward book.

4. So, we have someone else remembering things

You know, now that the Supreme Court has weighed in with its totally irrelevant opinion, there will probably be some cells opening up at Guantanamo for enemy combatants and people who remember stuff. Looks like a lot of candidates around here. Better notify Crisco Johnny and the Legion of Lockup about this place.

You'll recognize me at Gitmo by the pink carnation in my lapel. Please bring a pinochle deck.
