It's heartening to see that the American people are proportionally more generous than their government makes them look: Amazon's collection for the Red Cross Disaster Relief efforts is closing in on $4.5 million as of this writing (not including donations made directly to that and many other organizations). That's approaching the outpourings after 9/11. I hope that the image of this widespread sympathy and desire to help carry as loudly as Bush's choice to stay at his ranch to ride a bike and clear brush...
Update: I wanted this quote, but only now found it at Pandagon.net: "In this day and age, our government is not worthy of its people, and I'm proud of us for that."
