WaPo on major inaugural donors:

More than a dozen wealthy Bush supporters -- oil executives, corporate leaders, Texas Republicans -- have donated $250,000 each to help pay for the president's second inauguration, which is shaping up as one of the most expensive.

The $250,000 donors include former Enron president Richard D. Kinder, Dell Computer founder Michael S. Dell and Texas oilman and corporate takeover specialist T. Boone Pickens.

Also on the $250,000 list are ExxonMobil Corp.; Sallie Mae Inc., a Reston-based company that annually provides billions of dollars in student loans; United Technologies Corp., a unit of which manufactures Army Black Hawk helicopters; the utility Southern Co.; and Stephens Group Inc., a Little Rock venture capital company.

Golly! Given that the federal government is borrowing up to its ears and the troops are going without armor, wouldn't it be more, oh, befitting a humble Christian such as the President if he insisted on a small, solemn inauguration and diverted all that money to honor the troops with phone cards, prosthetic legs, and good psychiatrists?
