1. I would complain, but that's pretty standard issue. |
|
And it's also somewhat necessary. It's a prestige type thing. The only part that bothers me is that it's for Bush.

3. That's crazy we must give the King his ceramony ! |
|
seriously that's crazy. If he was anything like a good man he claimed himself to be he should suggest that half the balls be cancelled so that the money could go to the troops. Scale it down a whole bunch.

6. The article states that the money is being raised privately |
|
Of course it also mentions that the 30 to 40 million doesn't include security, which we will pay for. Still, your thread title is misleading. You should fix it.

However, there will be participation by the military and a large security bill that the tax payers will eat.

A more relevant point is why are they having this extravaganza during war time?
FDR canceled his parties.

12. Well, that's just a litle more than half of the Clinton Cock-Hunt totals |
|
And at least this won't take seven years.
