Tsunami survivors pitch in for inaugural bash

BANDA ACEH, Indonesia -- Thousands of tsunami survivors gathered in Banda Aceh last night to raise money for a Bush  Inaugural Relief Fund.  Hearing that the $40 million extravaganza was "in the red," local fisherman Najib Razak organized the fund raiser. "We just wanted to get their attention and maybe a little pay back for a donation," Razak said. "I don't know if we can work our way up to Centurian status, but we'll try.  It just depends on what 5 tons of contaminated fish and a bunch of conche shells can get us."

In a related story, supporters of the President along the parade route, between 5th and PA Ave, were asked, out of respect for the tsunami victims,  not to do the wave as the President walked by.  "We didn't mean no disrespect," explained Weldon Littlefield of Hondo, TX.  "We was just tryn' to keep warm."
