The $1 million could send 16000 kids to primary school for 5 years stat has to be a crock. Teachers teaching those kids, at 30 kids per teacher would get $375 a year if there were no overhead. That's poverty level in just about every part of the world.

And a site that puts Bill Mahr and Rush Limbaugh side by side and expects us to think that both of them aren't dolts is foolish in and of itself.

psychotic_venom: The footnote below the stat says "united nations development program", so I'm assuming that's not referring to North American students.

Ads for this appeared in today's NY Times. Here's more from the publisher.

Actually, I work for Soft Skull, and we aren't publishing it any more.

I'm not allowed to answer that. It's still coming out, though. Just not from us.
