I'm entitled to my entitlements: Kanye West edition

Remember right after Hurricane Katrina, how the networks put on a benefit concert -- and in the presence of Mike Myers, Kanye West said that Bush didn't care about blacks? A totally unscripted moment but something that had a lot of truth to it.



Very interesting then that Mr. West decides to order a meal from Wales and have it shipped all the way to New York. The normal price of the meal is about £8.97. The price for West, including delivery (for a party of four): £2000.

Hey, Kanye, your brothers and sisters in New Orleans are still suffering. How about using that money to help them instead? Especially nice of you to waste your time ordering from a restaurant that has a delivery radius of 3 miles? While those in the strike zone still have to depend on food stamps (um, food debit cards)?
