Warren Buffet has just given away $40 billion to charity and philanthropy.

I'll say that again: WARREN BUFFET JUST GAVE AWAY $40 BILLION TO CHARITY AND PHILANTHROPY!

And nowhere in the media or online have I seen a statement from the President congratulating and thanking him. To be fair, I haven't seen a statement from any politician.

Of course the president does not have the time to commend every great act by an American. But $40 billion to charity? If the winning coach of the Super Bowl gets a phone call from George W., I think Buffet rates a telegram or something.

Something like, "You're doing a hell of a job, Buffy!" or "Way to be a decider!"

Or "Wish my friend Ken Lay had done something like that with his billions!"

Buffett has given generously to pro-choice groups, so it's not surprise. The religious right is probably afraid of what the Gates and Buffett fortunes are going to support.
