According to the San Francisco Gate, the Bush re-election campaign is gearing up to spend at least \$426,640 a day, seven days a week, between now and November 2004.
That’s \$17,776.67 an hour.
Or \$296.27 — 3/4 of my weekly income — every minute.
As 18 1/2 Minute Gap pointed out, more money every day than 99% of Americans earn in a year.
Might this be a good time to mention that this would be an excellent time to donate to your preferred Democratic candidate (like, oh, say, Howard Dean)? I thought so.
