COST OF IRAQ WAR AS OF TODAY: $247,383,000,000
WHAT WE COULD HAVE DONE WITH THE ABOVE MONEY IF WE USED IT FOR PEOPLE ON ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
- fully funded all global anti hunger efforts for 10 years!
- fully funded all global HIV/ AIDS programs for 24 years!
- make sure every child on the planet was given basic immunizations for 82 years!
- build 2,227,461 additional housing units!
-sent 32,766,066 children to one year of Head Start!
- hired an additional 4,287,193 teachers for a year!
- provided 11,287,631 FULL FOUR YEAR scholarships to public universities.
- we could have fully insured 148,134,000 children for a year.
- we could have saved over 2,300 American lives and tens of thousands of the citizens of Iraq lives.
- we could have given Lady Bunny a sex change, face lift, second chin removal, full body electrolysis, eye-lift, nose job, botox, dermabrasion, tummy tuck, neck-lengthening, wrist- and heel-shaving, small toe and rib removal, exquisite costumes studded with real gemstones, a different sky-high coiffure for every occasion, villas in every Latin American country with horse-hung staff and lotsa drugs to share with friends who I'd fly in regularly on my fleet of private luxury jets to share the wealth. Oh, and a hit man for Lindsay Lohan!

Dear Lady Bunny, yes!
Maybe some of you will think I'm a foolish optimist, but I REALLY DO BELIEVE America is on its way to a whole new era of responsible, caring leadership.
Why do I think this? Well my dears, we are hitting the wall of what many feel they can do. It's this wall where we'll meet, and realize how much more we really can do together.
What the fuck do I mean? Recently I was standing on the corner in Philadelphia (waiting for a friend by the way!) smoking a cigarette, and this old man said to me, "SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOU HEALTH!" To which I said, "YEAH AND PAYING YOUR TAXES IS BAD FOR THE HEALTH OF IRAQI CITIZENS! FUCK OFF!"
Why do I bring this up? BECAUSE dear ones, people ALL OVER America right now are DOING things to control what situations they feel that they CAN control! Smoking bans is the perfect example for what I'm saying. I smoke, and I don't fucking care what the fuck anyone fucking thinks! I LIKE to smoke, SO FUCK OFF! But it's so interesting to see people who are caring citizens take so much time to ban others from a little bit of pleasure on this dank continent.
It's okay though, because I believe it's the war before the war, that we're going to FIGHT, really fucking FIGHT this shit going on in Washington!
PLEASE EVERYONE EVERYWHERE, do listen to such leaders as Hillary Clinton, really listen, and realize what a fink she is! She voted FOR the Patriot Act recently to be made permanent! Let us NOT forget she sold our civil liberties wholesale, let us NOT forget her in the voting booth! Her, and by the way, almost everyone else in the senate! We need to have the courage to BACK someone NEW, someone with some jazz in the blood! Get this fucking shit turned the fuck around and I'm not fucking kidding!

Bunny, what's scary is that the world probably would be a better place if we'd spent money on the last option.
Well done!
