On top of that, anyone that buys these clothes at a thrift store/Salvation Army are not going to be paying $3 for a dress. I guarantee you it will be priced somewhere out of reach. Even then, why does someone who needs warm clothes need designer clothes? It doesn't make sense. If I were to try to feed a hungry village, I think it would be insulting if I bought them a kilogram of caviar for $25,000 USD. They'd have been better off if they didn't try making it right by saying they'd donate it. Only makes them look more frivolous.Erickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07505213759188691570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19139604.post-44634144403444090672008-10-28T23:05:00.000+02:002008-10-28T23:05:00.000+02:00Palin is point blank, a joke.

Maybe more Republicans will be as disgusted with her as the rest of us and not be stupid enough to chance her ever being anywhere close to the White House. <BR/><BR/>Sarah and Todd are now being investigated about the legitimacy of Todd being able to build a $500,000 mansion on his own with some help from a few "buddies" which all went on when the sports arena just down the street from them (which Palin approved) was being built. These two are used to getting something for nothing with the taxpayer picking up the bill one way or the other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19139604.post-32669008457934765642008-10-27T04:16:00.000+02:002008-10-27T04:16:00.000+02:00I am from Blog Catalog and what caught my eye was ...I am from Blog Catalog and what caught my eye was your remarks to the thread "Is blog catalog dying?"
