Hear about the Dubai $20 Million Party ?
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601091&sid=aRrzuJ_6E3_0&refer=india

``I love Dubai, I love the architecture'', basketball player Michael Jordan said in an interview on the red carpet before the party. ``It's the second time I've been here, I'll be back.''


Was this was OVER THE TOP??? :puke:

Bin Laden was from Saudi, wanted the U.S. to get their bases out of there, got his wish. And now super rich 'Merikans spending more money over there! Wow, we just played into Bin Laden's hands over the past 8 years haven't we?

4. yeah, that's what I thought
And the people who went are so "chartiable"! I read on one guy starting a foundation with a donation of $500,000 of his own money all while he earned about $550 MILLION! And this foundation hired his relatives who are on the payroll to run it!

Wish I could have a foundation! :sarcasm:

5. I think it's easier to declare yourself a bank and ask Hank Paulson to send you a billion or so.
I sent Hank an e-mail saying, "I'm a bank now, please send me a billion dollars" but I haven't heard from him yet.

If it works for AmEx and GM, why shouldn't it work for me??? This involves a lot less paperwork than starting a foundation, seems to me.
