Follow-up

Item 1: In the interest of fairness: White House to Seek $950 Million for Tsunami Aid (washingtonpost.com). this aid package, if approved, would make the U.S. the most generous donor gov't. Item 2: Ikea is the new Wal-Mart:

Ikea had not predicted that up to 6,000 people would descend on the new store, in Edmonton, with a stampede to get in resulting in a frightening crush....

The chaos meant the new store - the 12th and biggest to open in the UK - had to close just over 40 minutes after opening because of what Ikea described as the "unforeseen numbers".

Congratulations, consumer America Britain, this is the life you deserve.
