The movement left isn't unearthing much in Alaska, so they're moving on to warmer climes, Africa. Yes, the dark continent has yielded dark secrets sure to sink Palin - specifically, her connection to a man in Africa who has been called a witchhunter (at least by the leftie author of the
hit piece). I take it apart
here.
But since we're in Africa, let's linger and consider irony. It turns out that over the last ten years, Joe Biden and wife have given $3690 to charity, on a total income of $2.4 million. Over that same period, a man named
George has lived in Africa, and has reportedly earned about $3650 (George says $120 over that period, $1/month, but others say $1/day). To make things even more incredible, George is sort of connected to Biden. He's Obama's half brother! Obama visited George two years ago. Obama visited George two years ago. (not a mistype. I repeated it two times to emphasize that Obama visited his destitute brother George just two years ago, and is aware of his brother's borderline existence). Two years later, George is still raking in $1/day.
If my dates are right, two years ago was the year Obama published his second autobiography, earning him something like $4 million in one fell swoop. Obama gave a lot to charity that year, about 1.5% of his income, though at least 2/3 of what he gave did nothing but promote leftist causes. Not one hungry mouth was filled with the bulk of what little the Obamas gave to charity, certainly not George's.
But assuming that charity works its way around the globe, the math is just too convenient to pass up: Biden's charitable giving met Obama's brother's meager needs almost precisely for a full decade. Be sure to thank him, Barack - he may not have actually been thinking about George, but you weren't either.
