Wealthy to poor: Here’s your cardboard cooker
A cardboard box with foil and a plastic cover, positioned as a “solar-power cooker” (see YouTube video below) won the $75,000 first prize in the Hewlett-Packard-sponsored Financial Times Climate Change Challenge.

Barack Obama does:
When you’re the president of the United States, only the best pizza will do – even if that means flying a chef 860 miles. Chris Sommers, 33, jetted into Washington from St Louis, Missouri, on Thursday with a suitcase of dough, cheese and pans to to prepare food for the Obamas and their staff.

The irony of it all…. wasted money, it is a sign of our times.
Quite pathetic that our elected leaders make token handouts to relief agencies yet can commit billions to propping up greedy capitalists…… makes me sick to my guts
