29. Well, both sites have a "Donate" request.
The Dems solicit disaster relief donations, while the Repugnants solicit disaster expansion (campaign) donations.

22. If you're using Windows
Press Print Screen (or Alt-Print Screen to capture just the window). It's now in your clipboard.

Open a graphics program (Paint will do). Open a new document (Ctrl-N). Paste (Ctrl-V or Edit --> Paste).

25. Our Glorious Leader must be praised!
Far back in the mists of ancient time, in great and glorious days of the former Galactic Empire, life was wild, rich and largely tax free. Mighty Starships plied their way between exotic suns, seeking adventure and reward among the furthest reaches of Galactic space. In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri. And all dared to brave unknown terrors, to do mighty deeds, to boldly split infinites that no man had split before-and thus was the Empire forged. Many men of coarse became extremely rich, but this was perfectly natural and nothing to be ashamed of because no one was really poor-at least no one worth speaking of.

---Douglas Adams

It's not just the cities. There are a fair number of blue counties in places like the desert and some other rural areas.

60. but the VAST red areas are actually deemed "unpopulated"
on some maps.. They ballyhoo that red/blue map as if the populated areas because they are small geographically, do not matter.

Of course cheating trumps votes any day, so it doesn't matter anyway:(

party theme song will undoubtedly be "Happy Days are Here Again" because reconstruction of those southern states will probably be sole source contract to the faithful.

74. RNC's reaction to disasters:
They remind me of Officer Barbrady from South Park.

"Move along folks, nothing to see here. My God, you act like you've never seen an entire region underwater and millions left destitute before. Just move along. We have the situation under control. Just go about your simple lives."

76. Even though the RNC website now has a donate button
There is still a vast difference between the sites. The DNC site focuses on the victims. The RNC site focuses on bush and his remarks.

And, the Red Cross donate button for the Red Cross is very small and obscure in relation to the donate button for RNC support.

Disgusting.
