My donation to the Democrats and tsunami victims

Democrats have been up-in-arms over the $50M pricetag of the inauguration, paid for with private funds, saying that it is "inappropriate" to have a "lavish ceremony" while "at war." This is, of course, largely the same class-warfarism and populism that lost Democrats the last election. If the Democrats want to have a party too, I'd be happy to give them a pitcher of sour grape juice.

The nightly parties/events/celebrations at business school oscillate between bare bones to lavish on account of our being poor-hoping-for-riches grad students and not really knowing whether we can/should be frugal or profligate. It might also be that it's very hard to be frugal in New York, where Hotel Gansevoort's bar charges $14 for a vodka-cranberry. (It costs $3.75 at Semento's.) Last night was a tsunami benefit at PM Lounge, a small place in the meatpacking district with enough velvet rope to lasso a steer. I don't have pictures... at least none that can be posted. You should have turned up...
