Not to make light of the tragedy

[catmandu57]

but how many winter coats and flannel shirts do you think are going to end up in the south pacific as part of an aid package?

[Dr.Phool]

1. Probably not many

Unless Pat Robertson's "Operation Blessing" gets involved. In one of the few humanitarian flights they sent to Africa, the entire cargo was artificial sweetener and non-dairy coffee creamer.

2. Most likely that was sent by some RWer businessmen

who had a surplus of each and were stuck with it until "Operation Blessing" came along. Then they used it as a tremendous tax writeoff. "Praise the Lord for Operation Blessing."
