He did not say, "The U.S. is stingy." He said, "The U.S. and other western nations are stingy..."

At the time he said it, yes, they were stingy. And today, look at how people are falling all over themselves to appear not to be stingy.

He succeeded in stirring the pot to get more aid to the victims.

Typical of the michelle moorish types, per-capita or any other relevant barometric reading become the first casualty.

Boxing Day is the day after Christmas, 26th of December.

Apparently it is the day on which you 'box up' unwanted gifts, hence Boxing Day, nothing at all to do with the toe to toe, get in the ring , type of Boxing.
