Headline of the Day II US gives $50,000 for quake-hit Italy

$50,000 dollars? We’re ponying up $50,000 for our long-time allies? The munificence of it all just begs for comment:

1. That’s not even a down payment on a 2009 Ferrari 599 (manufacturer’s suggested retail price $320,580)

2. Maybe they could also toss in some DVDs and a couple iPods.

3. If Italy accepts their bailout money, will Obama have the power to remove Berlusconi? (thanks to Jonah Goldberg at National Review).
