Well noted, again

I made mention of this back in March, but he's updated it, so I will, too.

Reacting to the news that the Obama campaign had raised 150 hundred fucking million dollars in the month of September, August J. Pollak of Some Guy With a Website said this:

Rated to a monthly average, the following 46 countries have a Gross National Income of less than $150 million:

Libya, Somalia, Iraq, Sao Tome and Principe, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Palau, Tonga, Guinea-Bissau, Vanuatu, Comoros, Dominica, Solomon Islands, Samoa, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent, Equatorial Guinea, Grenada, Gambia, Liberia, Bhutan, Seychelles, Maldives, Djibouti, Cape Verde, Saint Lucia, Antigua, Guyana, Eritrea, Burundi, Sierra Leone, Belize, Suriname, Mongolia, Central African Republic, Mauritania, Lesotho, Tajikistan, Togo, Kyrgyzstan, Swaziland, Moldova, Chad, Malawi, Fiji, and Nicaragua.

Of that list, the first seven had a GNI of less than $150 million for the entire year of 2007.

As I said in March, I'll say again that the amounts of money raised for political campaigns is just obscene. And in all the horserace political coverage of who raised more than who when, no one in the media ever seems to say "They raised that much in one month? Holy fucking crap, this system is just bananas."
