the only thing missing here is a pic wonderful Brad, lol.

I really admire this project....methinks the beautiful Angelina has had a major effect on his thinking--and I like it!

All I have to say is that it is pretty pathetic that years after the event, the place is still a wreck. What happened to all those millions of raised and even more pledged?

Good for Brad & Co. But really, what the hell is taking so long? The US Govt. can spend hundreds of billions on a war over seas, but can't spend 10% of that to save thier own people.

Pathetic.

(ps: at $150k/house, 10bn USD == 66,666 houses.)
