1. $1 million donated.

Isn't that the height of generousity for a multi-billion dollar company, whose net worth is more that the entire GDP of Belgium?

:sarcasm:

[OhioChick]

2. A drop in the bucket........

to save face.

10. 1 million is quite a bit of money. While it may be nothing to them it will

help.

[bushisanidiot]

12. It was a 1 million dollar investment.. now they will use their little

donation in their commercials to try to convince americans that the multi-billion dollar China-mart "feels their pain"..

barf!

15. Pocket change.

The people who need help from Katrina are their customers.

[Walt Starr]

3. They coughed up $1 million

Sorta like me dropping a dime in a homeless person's cup.

[Dogmudgeon]

4. Yes

They donated a million dollars three days ago -- which is a drop in the bucket, but three days ago it didn't seem to be as bad as it has turned out to be.

They also have decided to just let looters loot. One of Wal-Mart's suits said that as far as they were concerned, the first priority was public safety, rescue, and health.

Give the devil his due, but this is more than many other business organizations have done.

--p!

5. The devil has insurance.

[chipaev]

6. Loot

They donated all the looted items and 1 million dollars.

When the animals stop looting VCRs from their stores then they might give more, until then I wouldn't if I were them.

[hatrack]

8. Enjoy your stay - it will be short

Buh-bye.

9. Animals? You've been listening to Rush I see.

[atreides1]

11. So

What exactly makes them animals? I can see calling them thieves, but don't you think you and Rush could come up with a better term then animals.

I'm sorry that would actually require an imagination, wouldn't it?

13. Will AWOL Bush take his lips off Jeff Gannon's

cock long enough to do anything more than a piddly photo-op/press conference?? uh.. no.

he's got "other priorities"

[oasis]

7. Fox's Sheppard Smith reports a NO Walmart barracaded against looters.

Walmart is helping by preventing theft. :sarcasm:

[bushisanidiot]

14. Walmart should be donating those items freely.. they are animals for

keeping supplies from the poor and desperate..
