  I'm guessing he'll take the profit and feed Africa?

I wonder if he will give it all away.....so he doesn't have to pay all those taxes. You know, how he avoided them by taking U2 out of Ireland.

He's a jagoff.

One would think, at least, that it annoys the hell out of the run-of-the-mill leftards that U2 has always presented itself as a "Christian" band.

Have to admire Bono, he knows how to make money and make it grow. The problem is he wants to spend my money and yours too. Just another rich leftist like Al Gore or George Clooney, they want to run our lives---for our good of course.
